EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in history - "The Battle of Cajamarca, 1532". The engraving by Theodore de Bry depicts the Spanish conquest led by Francisco Pizarro, an event that forever altered the fate of Peru. On November 16th, 1532, a surprise attack unfolded as Emperor Atahualpa found himself surrounded on his palanquin. This image showcases the intensity and chaos of battle; conquistadors armed with axes and swords clash against Incan warriors defending their city. The scene is filled with tension as cannonballs fly through the air, symbolizing Spain's superior firepower. The artist's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life. Each figure exudes determination and bravery amidst the turmoil. The composition highlights both sides' strengths and weaknesses - Spain's military prowess contrasting with Inca royalty fighting valiantly for their land.
