1500 Assault Brazil Conquest Discovery Indians Vicente Pinzon Rejects Santiago Ortega
EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting Vicente Yanez Pinzon's rejection of the assault by indigenous people upon his discovery of Brazil on January 28,1500. Created as an etching in 1890 by Santiago Ortega, this image transports us back to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the conquest and exploration of America. The horizontal composition allows us to witness the intensity of this encounter between Pinzon and the native Indians. The engraved details bring forth a sense of authenticity and historical significance. Preserved within a private collection, this rare piece sheds light on Spain's role in Brazil's discovery. Vicente Yanez Pinzon stands tall amidst chaos, symbolizing resilience and determination against adversity. His rejection of violence serves as a testament to human empathy even during times marked by conquests. This powerful visual narrative invites viewers to reflect upon the complex dynamics that unfolded during European colonization. While its origins remain unknown beyond its creator Santiago Ortega’s work from over a century ago, this evocative print continues to serve as an invaluable resource for historians studying early interactions between Europeans and indigenous peoples in South America. It is important to note that commercial use is prohibited for this particular photograph print; however, it remains an essential artifact highlighting our shared global heritage.
