Foltering: onderdompeling in kokende olie 1565 - 1630

This etching by Antonio Tempesta, titled "Foltering: onderdompeling in kokende olie" (Torture: Immersion in Boiling Oil) depicts a scene of gruesome violence. The scene is set in an urban space, with a building in the background, and shows four men being tortured in various ways, including being boiled in oil and burned alive. The etching, which was created between 1565 and 1630, is a powerful reminder of the cruelty of torture. It is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
