How much should a historian trust a confession extracted by torture

History
1 answer:
agasfer [191]4 years ago
6 0

A confession extracted by torture should not easily be trusted by a historian. One of the reasons why this is the case is because the individual who was being tortured may have admitted to something that he/she did not do in order to stop the physical punishment they were facing. However, this does not necessarily mean that all confessions extracted by torture are not true. A good historian would use several different pieces of evidence and research in order to determine the validity of the confession.

Assoli18 [71]
All three of the esteemed Renaissance and Baroque Period artists sculpted images of the biblical figure David. Bernini sculpted his in 1624, and it still in the villa of his patron who it was sculpted for. Donatello's "David" was sculpted in 1440 during the Renaissance. Perhaps the most famous statue though is Michelangelo's "Statue of David" which has come to represent the Republic of Florence where it is kept.
