Antonio Tempesta's etching, "Foltering: van een toren duwen en onderdompeling in kokende vloeistof" (1565-1630), depicts a gruesome scene of torture. A man is pushed off a tower, landing on a spike below, while another man is about to be thrown into a cauldron of boiling liquid. The dramatic use of light and shadow emphasizes the violence of the scene, typical of the Baroque style. This artwork provides a glimpse into the harsh realities of punishment in the 16th and 17th centuries.
