"Cacodemon attacking the savages" is an engraving by the renowned Flemish-born artist and engraver Theodore de Bry, who is best known for his detailed and imaginative depictions of the New World. Created in the late 16th century, this work is part of a larger series of illustrations that de Bry produced to accompany accounts of European explorers and settlers in the Americas. These illustrations were intended to provide European audiences with visual representations of the exotic and often misunderstood lands and peoples of the New World.

The engraving depicts a dramatic and fantastical scene in which a cacodemon, a mythical evil spirit or demon, is shown attacking indigenous people, referred to as "savages" in the context of the period's colonial and ethnocentric perspectives. The cacodemon is portrayed as a monstrous and terrifying figure, embodying the fears and superstitions of the time. The indigenous people are depicted in a state of panic and chaos, emphasizing the perceived threat and otherness of both the demon and the native inhabitants.

De Bry's work is characterized by its meticulous detail and imaginative composition, blending elements of reality and fantasy. His engravings were highly influential in shaping European perceptions of the Americas, often reinforcing stereotypes and misconceptions about the indigenous populations. The dramatic and often sensationalized imagery in de Bry's engravings played a significant role in the colonial narrative, portraying the New World as a land of danger and mystery.

"Cacodemon attacking the savages" exemplifies de Bry's ability to capture the imagination of his audience while also reflecting the complex and often problematic attitudes of his time. The work remains a significant historical artifact, offering insight into the ways in which art and literature were used to construct and disseminate ideas about the New World during the Age of Exploration.
