Pizarro Captures Atahualpa
“The plaza of Cajamarca, November 16, 1532. Spanish horsemen burst from cover into the Inca emperor's unarmed retinue. Foreground shows Atahualpa's litter overturned and gold-clad nobles falling beneath hooves; midground reveals friar Valverde holding up a breviary as a signal; the Andean valley walls glow with late-afternoon sun while cannon smoke fills the square.”
