These are 2 of the best water torture scenes I've yet to see. Your work is outstanding and many thanks for sharing it.

Beautiful work Sir. Thank you for sharing.
The three girls in post #2187 show what intrigues and excites me about concepts of "the dungeon." The first girl is in despair being chained naked and not knowing her fate. The second is struggling in futility, being led to the stretching wheel where "things will be done to her." The third is resigned to the agony of strappado. Her manor seems to indicate that she will try to be brave, but the dislocation of her dainty shoulders will tell a different story. Thank you for posting these.
One of the great representations of the Inquisition's cruelty.

Personally I like the idea of two girls tortured to confess to being a witch. The Witchfinder has already decided which girl will be proclaimed the "senior" witch and will be publicly executed in a manner to please the crowds, the other will merely be flogged having found to be possessed by the Devil against her will and only a severe flogging can drive the Devil out of her body.
@Bubble,
Thanks for the illustrations of "mancuerda" as brought up by vadim69. I had not seen any of these before.
I read a description of this method in some work on the Inquisition. The wife of an official in Spain was accused of Jewish practice since she did not eat pork. She was stripped naked, placed on a horizontal platform. She was tortured with the cords and subjected to the water torture at the same time. Transcription of her speech during this ordeal was cited. As I can remember, she screamed and begged them to stop so that she could "remember what I have to say." Among the other pleas were "My arms are breaking!" and "You are killing me!" When the water torture was added, and there was a pause, she pleaded "Please! I cannot breathe and am sick in the stomach."
From the transcript, the cords were turned "sixteen times until they broke." That seems unlikely as it would probably have been the destruction of her limbs. After all that, she was deposited in a cell for four days "to stiffen up." Then she was returned to the torturers, and when once again stripped, she broke down and confessed to what they wanted. At a later time, she was "reconciled to Holy Mother Church." (I may not remember all that word-for-word, but it's close.)
Gotta love Holy Mother Church!
It is a chilling feeling thinking about the poor woman, and visualizing her awaiting more torture, her arms so cruelly damaged. One may wonder what effect there was on her stomach and intestines, her kidneys, her bladder, from the water. Was she humiliated and degraded by pissing herself before the torturers...and the others in attendance?
There were transcripts, so evidently it all actually happened. As actual practice, it is frightening. As fantasy, it is exciting.

These two works are a masterpiece of pure cruelty. The poor tortured girl who, instead of being able to quench her thirst, is mocked by the other girls and her glass of water, instead of being brought to her lips, is poured on her... splendid image! Congratulations 3DFranco
