EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the fierce and formidable Diego Garcia de Paredes, a renowned Spanish soldier and duellist of the 15th and 16th centuries. Born in Trujillo in 1466, he rose to prominence as a captain in the personal guard of Pope Alexander VI, earning a reputation as a skilled warrior and leader.
Known for his bravery on the battlefield, de Paredes served as a colonel under the Catholic Monarchs and fought in numerous wars across Spain, North Africa, Italy, and beyond. A crusader at heart, he was also appointed cardinal by Cardinal Cisneros for his dedication to defending the faith.
In this striking engraving from Museo Militar dating back to 1883 but later colorized in 2019, de Paredes is depicted with an aura of strength and determination befitting his status as a legendary conquistador. His legacy lives on through tales of his daring exploits against enemies both near and far.
As one gazes upon this image, they are transported back to a time when honor was paramount on the battlefield and courage knew no bounds. Diego Garcia de Paredes remains etched in history as an emblem of valor and chivalry that transcends generations.
