EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Francisco Pizarro, a renowned Spanish conquistador who played a significant role in shaping the history of South America. In this image, Pizarro and his soldiers are depicted on the picturesque island of Gallo, where they embarked upon their conquests. With determination and military prowess, Pizarro successfully conquered the mighty Inca Empire in 1532, claiming vast territories for the King of Spain. The mosaic from Pizarro's tomb in Lima Cathedral serves as a poignant reminder of his legacy. It symbolizes not only his achievements but also the religious fervor that accompanied Spanish exploration during the 16th century. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this artwork capture the essence of an era defined by both conquest and faith. Pizarro's audacious spirit led him to found Lima, Peru in 1535—a city that stands as a testament to his enduring influence. However, despite his triumphs, Pizarro met a tragic end when he was assassinated in 1541. This print transports us back to an age marked by epic voyages across treacherous seas and encounters with indigenous peoples. It encapsulates themes such as warfare, exploration, cultural exchange, and colonialism—themes that continue to shape our understanding of history today. As we gaze at this remarkable image captured by Francisco Pizarro himself or someone unknown yet talented enough to immortalize him through artistry—we cannot help but marvel at the indelible mark left behind
