Decada sesta Source place of publication Madrid Source publisher Por Iuan de la Cuesta Source date M. DC. XV. [1615] notes The portraits are of conquistadors of Peru. The Spanish under the leadership of Francisco Pizarro conquered the Inca territory by 1533 when the Inca leader Atahualpa was executed, although the last of the Incas, Tupac Amaru, was not executed until 1571. In the process the Spanish also set off a series of internecine wars among the conquerors. Belalcazar first led the Spanish into Ecuador. Once there he and Alvarado fought against Diego de Almagro at the battle of Salinas near Cuzco. Orgonez took part in the battle of Abancay in which he captured Alvarado. Quesada founded New Granada.

The ruler carries a symbol of the sun. Also includes horses, cross or crucifix, gun or muskets, war clubs, feathered headdresses and garments, flag, litter carried by horses, and fortifications. Source creator Philoponus, Honorius Source Title Nova typis transacta navigatio... Source place of publication Linz Source date 1621 notes This image shows the capture of Atahualpa or Atabalipa by Francisco Pizarro at Cajamarca, Peru. Atahualpa, in a desperate attempt to buy his freedom, offered Pizarro a room of gold. The ransom was in vain; Pizarro had the Inca king executed as soon as the ransom was collected. Wolfgang Kilian (1581-1662), an Augsburg printmaker, is presumed to be the artist for all the images in this book not obviously derived from the Petits Voyages and Grands Voyages of Theodor de Bry. Honorius Philoponus is a pseudonym, probably for Caspar Plautius to whom this book is dedicated. Image placed horizontally on page. Time Period 1601-1650 Provenance/Donor Acquired before 1900.
