"Burning of Churches by Muslims and the Death of Cristobal de Gama and the Fall and Death of Ahmed ibn Ibrahim al Ghazi 1506-43 Shot by a Portuguese Musketeer" is a historical painting by Jemlieri Hailu of Gondar Kegneketa. The artwork is a visual representation of the conflict between Christian and Muslim forces in the Horn of Africa during the 16th century, a period marked by religious and political upheaval.

The painting depicts two significant events: the burning of churches by Muslim forces and the death of Cristóbal de Gama, a Portuguese commander and son of the famous explorer Vasco de Gama, who was captured and executed by Ahmed ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi, also known as Ahmad Gragn. Ahmad Gragn was a prominent figure in the spread of Islam in the region and led several military campaigns against the Ethiopian Empire and its Christian allies. The second part of the painting's title refers to the demise of Ahmad Gragn himself, who was killed by a Portuguese musketeer during the Battle of Wayna Daga in 1543.

Jemlieri Hailu of Gondar Kegneketa, the artist behind this work, is associated with the Gondarine school of painting, which flourished in the city of Gondar in Ethiopia during the 17th and 18th centuries. This school is known for its distinctive style that blends traditional Ethiopian Christian art with influences from Baroque European painting, which was introduced to the region by Jesuit missionaries.

The painting serves as a historical document, capturing the complex interplay of religion, politics, and warfare in the region. It is also an example of the cross-cultural exchanges that occurred between Europe and Africa during this period, as evidenced by the European elements in the artistic style and the involvement of Portuguese forces in the regional conflicts.

As a significant piece of Ethiopian art, "Burning of Churches by Muslims and the Death of Cristobal de Gama and the Fall and Death of Ahmed ibn Ibrahim al Ghazi 1506-43 Shot by a Portuguese Musketeer" is an important work for understanding the historical and cultural narratives of the Horn of Africa, as well as the broader interactions between Christianity and Islam during the early modern period.
