EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the likeness of Francisco Pizarro Gonzalez, a Spanish conquistador who played a pivotal role in the conquest of the Inca Empire. Born around 1471 or 1476, Pizarro led an expedition that resulted in the downfall of one of the most powerful civilizations in South America.
The image is based on an etching from Retratos de Los Espanoles Ilustres, a publication from Madrid dating back to 1791. The detailed engraving highlights Pizarro's commanding presence and steely determination, traits that undoubtedly served him well during his military campaigns.
Pizarro's legacy is complex and controversial, as he was both revered for his achievements and criticized for his ruthless tactics. Nevertheless, there is no denying his impact on history as one of the key figures responsible for shaping the course of European colonization in the New World.
This portrait serves as a reminder of Pizarro's place in history and prompts viewers to reflect on the consequences of conquest and exploration. It is a testament to both his ambition and ruthlessness, capturing a moment frozen in time when empires clashed and destinies were forever altered.
