Pizarro Seizing the Inca of Peru
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Sir John Everett Millais, depicting a historic event from the 19th century. The artwork showcases a large group of people outdoors, with Pizarro, the Spanish conquistador, forcefully grabbing hold of an Inca leader. The scene evokes a sense of conflict and strife as the young Inca appears frightened while others around them react to this intense interaction. Millais' attention to detail and use of vibrant colors bring this historical moment to life. The artist's skillful brushstrokes capture the emotions and expressions on each character's face, highlighting their fear, resistance, and determination. The composition also includes women and children dressed in period-appropriate clothing, adding depth to the narrative. This particular print measures 42x49.5 cm and belongs to a private collection. It is believed to be a preliminary version of Millais' larger work exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1846; however, that piece now resides in London's V&A Museum. The print presented here by Bridgeman Images allows viewers to appreciate Millais' mastery even if they cannot see the original painting firsthand. It serves as a reminder of both European colonization efforts during this time period and its impact on indigenous cultures like those found in South America. Overall, "Pizarro Seizing the Inca of Peru" is not only an exquisite example of British art but also offers insight into significant historical events through visual storytelling.
