Title: Les arabes lui tranchèrent la tête et la porterent au général de la flotte turque
Period: 1850-1900;
Geographic: Spain; Europe
Description: The illustration represents part of the captive’s tale: a group of Arabs bring Juan de Andrea Doria’s head to the commander of the Turkish fleet, who orders the two who brought him the head hanged. This confirms the Spanish proverb: ‘For the treason we are grateful, though we find the traitor hateful.’ The Arabs had betrayed Juan’s trust after the Goletta fortress fell, promising to take him to Tabarca dressed as a Moor. Signed by G. Doré (illustrator) and H.-J. Pisan (engraver). Part 1, ch. 39.
