EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving captures a significant moment in history, depicting the Spanish State Council in 1518. In this scene, Brother Juan de Quevedo and Bartolome de Las Casas are seen fervently defending the cause of the indigenous people before Charles V, who reigned as Holy Roman Emperor from 1500 to 1558. Both Brother Juan de Quevedo and Bartolome de Las Casas were prominent figures during this time. They dedicated themselves to advocating for the rights and protection of the native inhabitants of the New World. Their mission was to restrict the powers of governors in order to safeguard these vulnerable communities. The image showcases their impassioned plea as they present their case before Charles V's court. It is evident that both men possessed an unwavering commitment towards justice and mercy for those oppressed by colonization. This historical event took place during a period when European powers were expanding their influence across distant lands. The engraving serves as a reminder that amidst conquests and power struggles, there were individuals like Brother Juan de Quevedo and Bartolome de Las Casas who fought valiantly for what they believed was right. Their efforts would go on to shape future discussions on human rights and colonial policies. This print not only immortalizes this pivotal moment but also pays homage to two remarkable individuals whose voices echoed through history, leaving an indelible mark on our understanding of justice and compassion.
