Pedro Berruguete. Saint Dominic Presiding over an Auto-da-fe, painted around 1495. Oil on wood. 60 5/8 × 36 1/4" (154 × 92 cm). Prado Museum (catalog number P00618), Madrid. From the sacristy of the Santo Tomás church in Ávila.

Note: Artistic representations of the auto da fe usually depict torture and the burning at the stake. However, this type of activity never took place during an auto da fe, which was in essence a religious act.

This photograph was taken in the U.S. or in another country where a similar rule applies (for a list of allowable countries, see Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag#Country-specific rules).
This photographic reproduction is therefore also in the public domain.
