EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the imposing figure of Don Francisco Pizarro, the Spanish conquistador who led the expeditions that brought about the Spanish conquest of Peru. The statue, a masterpiece by American sculptor C. Rumsey, stands proudly in the town of Trujillo, Spain, where Pizarro was born to a humble family. The statue was presented to the town by the Duke of Alba and the Marquis de Zianna in 1925. Born in poverty, Pizarro (1471-1541) left Spain in search of fortune and adventure in the New World. His expeditions, which included the famous conquest of the Inca Empire under Atahualpa in 1532, brought about significant changes to the history of the Americas. The statue's intricate details and lifelike portrayal of Pizarro's determined gaze and regal attire reflect the conquistador's legendary status. The statue's presentation to Trujillo was a significant event in the town's history, as it served as a reminder of the connection between the town and its most famous son. The statue continues to be a source of pride for the people of Trujillo, who celebrate their historical ties to the man who played a pivotal role in the exploration and colonization of the New World.
