EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Fray Bartolome de las Casas, a prominent figure in Spanish history. Born in 1474 and passing away in 1566, he was a Spanish Dominican friar who left an indelible mark on the world. The image captures his essence with vibrant colors and intricate details. Fray Bartolome de las Casas dedicated his life to defending the rights of indigenous people during the tumultuous 15th and 16th centuries. His tireless efforts to protect their welfare earned him great respect and admiration. This oil painting, preserved in the Archive of Indias, is a testament to his enduring legacy. The portrait exudes wisdom and compassion as it immortalizes this influential Dominican friar. Santiago Ortega skillfully captured every nuance of Fray Bartolome's visage, revealing both strength and gentleness within his countenance. Displayed vertically against a backdrop that hints at Spain's rich Andalucían heritage, this photograph print serves as a powerful reminder of Fray Bartolome de las Casas' significant contributions to society. It invites viewers into an intimate connection with history while honoring the memory of this extraordinary individual. As we gaze upon this striking portrayal, let us remember Fray Bartolome de las Casas for his unwavering dedication towards justice and equality for all people – especially those marginalized by colonization. May his spirit continue to inspire generations to come.
