EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the haunting walls of The Inquisition Prison in Barcelona. Created by the talented artist Gustave Dore, this drawing beautifully captures the essence of his journey through Spain alongside C. Davillier in 1862. The image showcases the exterior view of this infamous prison, with its imposing architecture and foreboding atmosphere. As we gaze upon it, we can almost feel the weight of history that lingers within those stone walls. Dore's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully depicts every intricate feature of the building. From the lightning striking ominously overhead to the shadows cast on its facade, each element adds depth and intensity to this powerful illustration. As we delve into this piece further, it becomes clear that Dore not only aimed to capture a physical representation but also convey an emotional narrative. Through his masterful use of shading and composition, he invites us to contemplate what transpired within these walls during one of history's darkest periods - The Spanish Inquisition. This remarkable engraving was originally featured in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton in 1862. Today, it resides within Leonard de Selva's private collection, serving as a testament to both Dore's artistic brilliance and our collective human history.
