EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment of the assassination of Francisco Pizarro, a renowned Spanish conquistador, in Lima, Peru in 1541. The image showcases a pen and ink drawing from Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala's historical work "El primer nueva cronica y buen gobierno" (The first new chronicle and good government) published between 1583-1615. In this scene, we witness the tragic demise of Pizarro at the hands of a supporter of Diego de Almagro. The artist skillfully portrays the intensity and chaos surrounding this pivotal event in history. Pizarro is depicted wearing his armor and helmet as he valiantly fights against his assailant with a sword. The Peruvian flag waves ominously in the background, symbolizing both conquest and resistance. This artwork not only serves as an artistic representation but also offers valuable insights into one of the most significant moments during Spain's colonization period. It highlights the violent nature that often accompanied these conquests while shedding light on political rivalries within colonial powers. As viewers engage with this powerful image, they are transported back to a time when empires clashed for power and control over vast territories. It reminds us of both the triumphs achieved by explorers like Pizarro and their ultimate vulnerability to betrayal and violence. Through its intricate details and historical significance, this print from Granger Art on Demand invites us to reflect upon our shared past while appreciating art's ability to preserve
