Description
-
The Inca Emperor Atahualpa (Atabalipa) and his army are attacked by Spaniards outside the city of Cajamarca in Peru. At the center of the melee, a Spanish man grabs Atahualpa (who is still atop his litter) by the ankle and pulls him down, while a monk holds a cross up towards him. Spaniards attack the Inca army on horseback from the left and on foot from the right, using muskets, swords, and spears. The Spanish have also lined up several cannons, which they fire at the Indigenous warriors. Despite outnumbering the Spanish, the Inca army is faring poorly, having been caught by surprise and facing more destructive weapons. The Inca men are armed with bows and spears, and a few have shields. Many are killed in the attack, while others flee in panic. This image is identical to one found on page 7 (123) of Frankfurt, 1596.
