EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Atahualpa, the last Incan chief and ruler of Peru, was defeated and taken prisoner by the troops of Francisco Pizarro. Created in 1815 by Gallina, Gallo, this colour lithograph showcases the intense encounter between these two powerful figures. Atahualpa's regal presence is evident as he stands tall amidst a backdrop of chaos and conflict. His elaborate traditional attire reflects his status as king of the Incas, while his determined expression reveals his resilience even in defeat. The artist masterfully portrays the tension and drama surrounding this pivotal event in South American history. Pizarro's troops surround Atahualpa with their weapons drawn, symbolizing their triumph over an ancient civilization. This image serves as a poignant reminder of how European conquest forever altered the course of indigenous cultures in Peru. Taken from Giulio Ferrario's "South America" publication in 1827, this illustration offers a glimpse into Peru during the 16th century. It is part of Le Costume ancien et moderne Amerique v. 2 collection that beautifully depicts various aspects of life on this continent. Preserved within a private collection today, this print not only commemorates Atahualpa's capture but also serves as a testament to human resilience and cultural transformation during times of great change.
