Man wordt gemarteld door geestelijken van de inquisitie 1841

"Man wordt gemarteld door geestelijken van de inquisitie" (Man is Tortured by Clergy of the Inquisition) is a lithograph by Adolphe Mouilleron, a French artist known for his historical and religious works. Created in 1841, this piece depicts a scene of torture, likely meant to highlight the brutality of the Spanish Inquisition. The image is a graphic and powerful example of 19th-century social commentary on religious persecution. Mouilleron's detailed rendering of the scene, from the figures’ expressions to the tools of torture, emphasizes the horrors of this historical practice. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, the artwork is a reminder of the dark side of history and the need for justice and human rights.
