EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the powerful presence of Gabriel de Rojas, a renowned General of the Artillery from Spain. The portrait, originally engraved in 1886 for "The Narrative and Critical History of America" captures the essence of this esteemed soldier who played a pivotal role in Pizarro's conquests of Peru and Chile. With his stern gaze fixed upon us, Gabriel de Rojas exudes an air of authority and determination. Clad in magnificent armor adorned with intricate details, he stands as a symbol of strength and resilience. His plumed helmet adds an extra touch of grandeur to his already impressive appearance. The artist behind this Spanish School engraving skillfully portrays not only De Rojas' physical attributes but also hints at his courageous exploits on the battlefield. It is believed that he may have been present during the defense of Cusco around 1533, further solidifying his reputation as a fearless explorer. As we observe this historic image captured over a century ago, we are transported back to an era when conquerors like Gabriel de Rojas shaped the course of history through their bravery and military prowess. This remarkable portrait serves as both a testament to De Rojas' legacy and a reminder of the indomitable spirit that drove explorers during that time. Displayed within private collections today, this print offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary individual whose contributions continue to resonate throughout history.
