notes:
Text discusses how the Spanish would torture some native nobles over a slow-burning fire. They would torture others by chopping off their hands and tying the hands around their necks, sending them to take the news back to others in the mountains. One of the first to vilify the Spanish as cruel exploiters of the Indians, Bartolomé de las Casas, the bishop of Chiapas, vehemently condemned maltreatment of the Indians. His writings enforced an enduring set of of ideas known as the Black Legend and sanctioned Protestant retaliation against Catholic countries, especially Spain. Artist is probably Joos or Jodocus van Winghe (1544-1603), a Netherlandish painter active in Germany.
