notes:
Illustrates Spanish atrocities in Cuba and illustrates Casas's telling of the death of Hatuey who, when the priest approached him asking if he wanted to go to heaven, replied that he did not, if that is where the Christians went.This image is derived from author's Narratio regionum ..., Frankfurt a. M., 1598, and is here reversed. 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.
