After playing the game Blasphemous, I decided to do some research into Seville. This led to a bit of a rabbit hole into 15th Century Spain, the Inquisition, the figures that orchestrated it, as well as other aspects of Spanish history.
While this does not even come close to portraying the Inquisition, I wanted to capture a snapshot of a setting sun on a night during the Inquisition, and how its desire to create a monoculture through forced exile, torture, execution, and coerced conversion of Jews, Muslims, and others became a tapestry for state and church sanctioned horror.
