Description
Español: La obra representa un auto de fe celebrado en Madrid el día 30 de junio de 1680, durante el reinado de Carlos II de España. El auto se celebró en la plaza Mayor y duró toda una jornada. Al fondo vemos la tribuna real y en ella a Carlos II, a su mujer María Luisa y a su madre. En los balcones, se ubican personas distinguidas de la corte. A la izquierda, rica alfombra y sobre ella el altar con la cruz verde, simbolizando la esperanza de perdón de los reconciliados, y el estandarte del Santo Oficio. Al lado, las gradas de los cargos públicos, y el solio del inquisidor general quien todavía está junto a la tribuna del rey después de haberle tomado juramento. En el centro del cuadro vemos a dos reos vestidos como en el siglo XV, con coroza y sambenitos con llamas, a los relatores o lectores de causas y sentencias en los púlpitos, y a unos dominicos con el predicador en el púlpito central. A la derecha están las gradas para los familiares de la Inquisición y los reos en persona o en estatua (muertos o huidos), la cual lleva una inscripción con sus delitos y una caja con sus huesos. Los reos podían ser penitenciados (castigados con diversas penas y que al abjurar de sus errores se convertían en reconciliados) o relajados (condenados a muerte en garrote, o en hoguera si eran reincidentes). En primer plano se ve a los soldados de la fe y los asnos que llevarán a los condenados a muerte a las afueras de la ciudad para ser ejecutados por la justicia secular. En este grupo de soldados en la parte inferior central del cuadro, encontramos una figura masculina que porta un tambor de grandes dimensiones muy utilizado en este tipo de ceremonias.
English: The work represents an auto de fe celebrated in Madrid on June 30, 1680, during the reign of Charles II of Spain. The ritual was held in the Plaza Mayor and lasted a whole day. In the background we see the royal tribune and in it Charles II, his wife María Luisa and his mother. Distinguished people from the court are located on the balconies. On the left, rich carpet and on it the altar with the green cross, symbolizing the hope of forgiveness of the reconciled, and the banner of the Holy Office. Next door, the stands of public office, and the throne of the inquisitor general who is still next to the king's tribune after taking an oath. In the center of the painting we see two prisoners dressed as in the 15th century, with coroza and sambenitos with flames, the rapporteurs or readers of causes and sentences in the pulpits, and some Dominicans with the preacher in the central pulpit. On the right are the stands for relatives of the Inquisition and prisoners in person or statue (dead or fled), which bears an inscription with their crimes and a box with their bones. Prisoners could be penance (punished with various penalties and who by abjuring their mistakes became reconciled) or relaxed (condemned to death in a club, or at the stake if they were repeat offenders). In the foreground are the soldiers of faith and donkeys who will take those condemned to death on the outskirts of the city to be executed by secular justice. In this group of soldiers at the bottom center of the painting, we find a male figure who carries a large drum widely used in this type of ceremony.
