Domingo de Betanzos (1430-1549): A Spanish Missionary in the New World This enchanting colored engraving depicts Domingo de Betanzos, a prominent Spanish missionary and member of the Dominican Order, during the 16th century. The image, created in 1885, is part of the Department of Prints and Engravings at the Library of Catalonia in Barcelona, Spain. Born in the 15th century in Spain, Betanzos was a dedicated friar who embarked on a mission to evangelize the people of Michoacán, Mexico. His journey to the New World was part of the larger Spanish effort to spread Catholicism and establish a presence in the Americas. In this portrait, Betanzos is depicted wearing the traditional robes of the Dominican Order, complete with a simple white tunic, brown scapular, and a rosary in his hand. His serious expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of deep devotion and determination. The pleats of his robe are meticulously rendered, adding to the intricacy and detail of the engraving. The image is a testament to the rich history of the Catholic Church in the modern age, as well as the enduring influence of Spanish colonialism in the Americas. Betanzos' story is one of faith, exploration, and the spread of European culture and religion in the New World. This engraving is a valuable historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the life of a missionary who played a significant role in the history of the Roman Church and the Spanish presence in South America.
