EDITORS COMMENTS
The intense woodcut print titled "Gonzalo de Pizarro Kills Diego de Almagro" captures a pivotal moment in history with its intricate details and dramatic composition. Created by Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala, this artwork is part of "The First New Chronicle and Good Government" which chronicles the conquest of South America. In this scene, Gonzalo de Pizarro, step-brother to Francisco Pizarro, stands defiantly as he wields his sword against Diego de Almagro. The tension between these two conquistadors is palpable as they engage in a deadly duel fueled by revenge and rebellion. Every stroke of the woodcut engraving showcases the raw emotions and fierce determination etched on their faces. As we delve into the historical context behind this artwork, we are transported back to an era when power struggles were commonplace among those seeking dominance over new territories. The Incas loom large in the background, reminding us of their once mighty empire that was now being torn apart by European conquerors. This image serves as a testament to both the brutality and ambition that characterized this period of exploration and colonization. It invites viewers to reflect upon the complexities of human nature while shedding light on significant events that shaped our world today. Through Bridgeman Images' reproduction, we can appreciate not only Huaman's artistic skill but also gain insight into a crucial chapter in South American history.
