"The Indians Attacking the Priests and Others and Setting Fire to Their Houses" is a notable historical illustration by Jacques le Moyne de Morgues, a French artist and member of the short-lived French Huguenot colony in Fort Caroline, present-day Jacksonville, Florida. Created in the 16th century, this artwork is part of a series of watercolors that depict the interactions between the French colonists and the indigenous peoples of the region, known as the Timucua.

Le Moyne's work is of significant historical importance as it provides a rare visual account of early European colonization efforts in North America and the complex relationships between colonizers and Native Americans. His illustrations are among the earliest known images of the inhabitants of North America and their customs, as observed by a European artist. The artwork in question is particularly notable for its depiction of a violent encounter, illustrating the conflict and resistance that characterized many of these early interactions.

The scene captured in "The Indians Attacking the Priests and Others and Setting Fire to Their Houses" is dramatic and detailed, offering insight into the weaponry, tactics, and attire of the Timucua. Le Moyne's illustrations, including this one, were not only artistic endeavors but also ethnographic records that have contributed to the understanding of the Timucua people and their way of life before their eventual decline due to disease, slavery, and warfare brought by European contact.

Jacques le Moyne de Morgues' works, including this illustration, gained wider recognition after being reproduced in the 1591 publication "Brevis narratio eorum quae in Florida Americae provincia Gallis acciderunt" by Theodor de Bry, which helped disseminate the images throughout Europe. Despite questions about the accuracy and potential European bias in Le Moyne's depictions, his artwork remains a valuable resource for historians and anthropologists studying the early colonial period in North America.
