The scene depicted is both haunting and thought-provoking, as it captures the clash between indigenous South American tribes and Spanish conquistadors. In this powerful image, we witness the native people's attempt to test the supposed immortality of their European invaders. With intense expressions on their faces, the indigenous warriors forcefully submerge the Spaniards into deep waters, challenging their belief in divine invincibility.
