Pedro de La Gasca Sent to Peru to Put Down the Rebellion of Gonzalo de Pizarro c.1502-48 by Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala is a notable historical illustration that captures a significant moment in the colonial history of Peru. Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala, a Quechua nobleman and chronicler, is renowned for his extensive work, "El primer nueva corónica y buen gobierno" (The First New Chronicle and Good Government), which provides a detailed account of Andean society and the impact of Spanish colonization. This particular illustration is part of that larger manuscript, which was completed around 1615 and addressed to King Philip III of Spain.

The illustration depicts Pedro de La Gasca, a Spanish bishop and diplomat, who was sent by the Spanish Crown to quell the rebellion led by Gonzalo Pizarro, the brother of the famous conquistador Francisco Pizarro. Gonzalo Pizarro's rebellion, which took place between 1544 and 1548, was a significant conflict during the early colonial period in Peru. It arose due to dissatisfaction among the Spanish encomenderos with the New Laws of 1542, which aimed to protect the indigenous population from exploitation and reduce the power of the encomenderos.

La Gasca's mission was crucial in restoring order and reaffirming the authority of the Spanish Crown in the New World. He successfully negotiated with various factions, ultimately leading to the defeat of Gonzalo Pizarro at the Battle of Jaquijahuana in 1548. The illustration by Huaman Poma de Ayala not only captures this pivotal moment but also reflects the complex dynamics between the indigenous population and the Spanish colonizers.

Huaman Poma's work is invaluable for its unique perspective, combining indigenous viewpoints with detailed observations of Spanish colonial practices. His illustrations, including this one, are characterized by their intricate detail and serve as a visual complement to his written chronicles. They provide a rare and insightful glimpse into the historical events and cultural interactions of the time.
