EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Night of the Inquisition" is a captivating print by renowned Spanish artist Francisco Goya, depicting a haunting scene from one of history's darkest periods. This powerful artwork, found in the esteemed collection of the National Museum of Art in Oslo, transports viewers to 18th-century Madrid during an infamous event known as the "auto de fe". Goya's masterful use of oil on wood brings this genre painting to life with vivid details and striking contrasts. The composition showcases a gathering crowd illuminated by torchlight, their faces filled with fear and anticipation. As we delve into the historical context behind this image, we uncover the horrors that unfolded during these religious trials. The Inquisition was a time when individuals deemed heretics or enemies of faith were subjected to persecution and torture. The "auto da f" or act of faith, was a public spectacle where accused individuals faced judgement for their beliefs or actions. Goya captures this chilling atmosphere through his meticulous attention to detail and evocative brushwork. This print serves as both a reminder and reflection upon humanity's capacity for intolerance and cruelty throughout history. It stands as testament to Goya's artistic brilliance in capturing not only physical appearances but also emotional turmoil within his subjects.
