EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Castilians arrive at the Bay of San Mateo and The Castilians pass the Island of Puna, 1726" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous Spanish School artist from the 18th century, this print showcases the Spanish conquest of Peru in 1531. The image offers a bird's eye view of two pivotal scenes. In one scene, we witness the arrival of the Castilians at the Bay of San Mateo, their ships dotting the coastline as they prepare for their conquest. The other scene depicts them passing by the Island of Puna on their journey towards their ultimate goal. This engraving not only captures a military expedition but also provides a glimpse into Latin American history and colonization during that era. It serves as a reminder of how European powers ventured into new territories and clashed with indigenous civilizations like the Incas. With its intricate details and panoramic perspective, this artwork allows us to imagine what it might have been like during those early encounters between Europeans and South Americans. It invites us to reflect on both sides' perspectives - conquerors seeking wealth and power versus native populations defending their lands. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece from Barcelona's Biblioteca Universidad collection, let us appreciate its artistic value while acknowledging its role in documenting an important chapter in our shared human story.
