EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment of reconciliation between two legendary Spanish conquistadors, Francisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro, in the year 1534. The scene unfolds in the city of Cuzco, the former capital of the Inca Empire, which had become the focal point of their bitter conflict. Pizarro, the founder of Lima and the conqueror of the Inca civilization, stands on the left, his arm raised in a gesture of peace. His stern expression suggests a man weary from the long-lasting struggle, but determined to put the past behind him. On the right, Diego de Almagro, a fellow conquistador and rival of Pizarro, mirrors his counterpart's pose. Almagro's face displays a more hopeful countenance, reflecting his eagerness to end the hostilities and restore unity among the Spanish forces. Between them stands a humble priest, acting as a mediator and symbolizing the spiritual guidance that played a crucial role in the reconciliation process. The priest's presence underscores the importance of the religious aspect in the lives of the Spanish conquistadors, who sought to spread Christianity throughout the New World. The ceasefire agreement between Pizarro and Almagro marked a significant turning point in the history of the Spanish conquest of Peru. It allowed the Spanish forces to focus their efforts on expanding their territories and consolidating their power, paving the way for the establishment of the Viceroyalty of Peru and the beginning of the colonial era.
