By harnessing theories from the history of art, this article seeks to distinguish between classical forms of capital punishment originating from Ancient Rome and baroque forms. What follows is an attempt to locate explanations for the following questions: is it possible to propose a stylistic approach to capital punishment? Was there a degree of classicism in the way criminal justice systems executed the condemned? Would such classicism have been followed by a kind of capital punishment baroque? The notes that follow will undoubtedly fail to provide definitive answers to these questions, instead merely sparking debate.
