"The Execution of the Inca King Atahualpa c.1502-33 in Cajamarca in 1533" is a significant historical artwork by Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala, an indigenous Peruvian author and illustrator of the early 17th century. This work is part of a larger manuscript known as "El Primer Nueva Corónica y Buen Gobierno" (The First New Chronicle and Good Government), which was completed around 1615. The manuscript is a comprehensive account of Andean life, encompassing the history, culture, and abuses of colonial rule in Peru.

Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala's illustration of the execution of Atahualpa, the last Inca emperor, is a poignant depiction of a pivotal moment in the history of the Americas. Atahualpa was captured by Spanish conquistadors led by Francisco Pizarro in 1532, during the Battle of Cajamarca, and his execution in 1533 marked the definitive end of the Incan Empire. Huaman Poma de Ayala's work is not just an artistic representation but also a critical historical document that offers insight into the indigenous perspective on the Spanish conquest and its aftermath.

The illustration, along with the accompanying text, provides a unique view of the events and social dynamics of the time, highlighting the clash of civilizations and the tragic consequences of the conquest. Huaman Poma de Ayala's manuscript, including "The Execution of the Inca King Atahualpa," is a vital source for understanding the impact of Spanish colonialism on the indigenous peoples of Peru and the Andean region. It stands as a testament to the resilience of Andean culture and the enduring legacy of its people in the face of adversity.
