This print showcases an engraving after the painting "The Pope and the Inquisitor also says 'Sixte IV (1471-1484) and Tomas de Torquemada (1420-1498)" by John Paul Laurens. Created in 1882, this piece of art captures a significant moment in history. The image depicts Sixte IV, who served as Pope from 1471 to 1484, alongside Tomas de Torquemada, a prominent figure during the Spanish Inquisition. The intense expressions on their faces reveal the gravity of their roles within the Catholic Church during this tumultuous period. Laurens' masterful brushstrokes are beautifully translated into this engraving by Stefano Bianchetti.
