EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithography print takes us back to the 15th century, capturing the stern countenance of Fray Tomas de Torquemada. A prominent figure in Spanish history, Torquemada was appointed as the Inquisitor General by Innocent VII in 1482. The image exudes an air of authority and power as we gaze upon this influential Dominican friar. Known for his role in the Spanish Inquisition, Torquemada's name has become synonymous with religious persecution and intolerance during that era. In this vertical portrait, Santiago Ortega skillfully captures every detail of Torquemada's face - from his intense eyes to his furrowed brow - revealing a man who was resolute in his beliefs. The photograph is housed within Madrid's National Library, a fitting place for such an important historical artifact. As we observe this print, it serves as a reminder of Spain's complex past and the dark chapters that unfolded under Torquemada's leadership. It invites contemplation on how individuals can wield immense power and influence over others' lives. While not intended for commercial use, this print offers us a glimpse into history through its depiction of one of Spain's most notorious figures.
