EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Pizarro contemplating over the product of his new Peruvian Mine" we are transported back to 1799, witnessing a pivotal moment in history. The renowned artist James Gillray masterfully captures the essence of Francisco Pizarro González, a Spanish conquistador who conquered the Incan Empire. As we gaze upon this colored engraving, our eyes are drawn to Pizarro's contemplative expression. His face is etched with a mix of anticipation and greed, reflecting the complex emotions that often accompany great wealth and power. The cartoon-like depiction adds an element of satire to this thought-provoking image. The backdrop showcases the vastness and richness of Peru, as Pizarro stands before his newly acquired mine. Gold glistens in abundance, symbolizing both conquest and avarice. This visual juxtaposition invites us to reflect on the consequences that come with such immense wealth. Gillray's artistic prowess shines through in every detail - from Pizarro's regal attire to the meticulous rendering of each stroke. This print serves as a reminder that even those who achieve great success may find themselves grappling with moral dilemmas and inner conflicts. Courtesy of New College, Oxford, this historical gem offers viewers an opportunity for introspection into human nature itself - our desires for riches and power alongside their potential pitfalls. It serves as both a testament to past triumphs and a cautionary tale about unchecked ambition. This timeless masterpiece by Bridgeman Images
