Szymon, one of the followers of my blog asked me to make an impalation drawing. Impalement is one of the most cruel forms of execution.
If the mast (a large, long wooden stake) passes through the body without destroying the most vital organs, the victim can take many hours to die. During the agony, the victim's weight make him slide down the stake.
Its a huge pleasure to watch his suffering in the face of pain and certain death.
In this case, the captive enemy warrior was humiliated, stripped, flogged, beaten and raped for several days by his captors. For his humiliation to be complete, impalement was the most shameful execution, a final brutal and fatal rape!
However, even in the face of such brutality and certain death, the convict had an last erection. The audience, bothered by this demonstration of life and pleasure, decided to cut off his erect penis!
Very strong pictures and narative. Congratulations to the well depicted way of execution often used by Turks in Ottoman empire. I hope Szymon is satisfied :-)
