RESUMO

This thesis studies the history of some artists and their works related to the Inquisition. Such works were created in the Iberian Peninsula, between the last years of the 15th century and the first years of the 19th century. During this long period, the Holy Office used Art as an expression of its aims, as it searched for legitimacy and praise with regard to its deeds. It therefore practiced strict control and censorship over the artists and their works. Although under strict control from the Inquisition and compliant with the aesthetic and iconographic canons imposed by the Council of Trent, several artists managed to evade these regulations and were able to conceive, at certain times and under very special conditions, works that expressed their aversion, criticism, and condemnation concerning the Holy Office and its heinous acts. The present study deals with those three typologies: legitimacy, praise, and aversion, as it fundamentally discusses the role played by Art and artists in their relationship with the Holy Office in the Modern Age
