	Quote: “Of Silence and Speech, Silence is better.” Self-Portrait – Salvator Rosa (1615–73) ........................................... Miguel, you will like this article. Thought provoking? LINK Yes Roger, I sure liked it. Actually it's not that incredible that the Church, more specifically the Inquisition, posed a threat to free artistic spirits like Salvator Rosa in as late as the eighteenth-nineteenth centuries: if I remember well, in times of our parents all books had to have an "Imprimatur" authorization from the Church before they could be published. I myself remember seeing those books and the special inscription on their first pages in my uncles' homes. Even Goya was under investigation by the 'Holy' Inquisition for many years, and while this is mentioned only in passing in the few sites that I have visited in my research of him, it remains a fact that they kept an all-embracing power over most souls in almost all of Europe and in Central and South America well into the Twentieth century. Thanks for pointing me to the article, I really enjoyed it. Miguel
