"Hans Staden captured by Tupinambá Indians during his voyage to Brazil" is an engraving by Theodore de Bry, a 16th-century Flemish engraver and publisher. The work is part of a series of engravings that illustrate the travel narrative of the German soldier and explorer Hans Staden, who was captured by the Tupinambá, an indigenous tribe in Brazil, during his second voyage to the New World in the mid-16th century. Staden's account, titled "Warhaftige Historia und beschreibung eyner Landtschafft der Wilden Nacketen, Grimmigen Menschfresser-Leuthen in der Newenwelt America gelegen" (True History and Description of a Country of Wild, Naked, Grim, Man-eating People in the New World, America), was first published in 1557 and provided a vivid description of his experiences and observations of the indigenous peoples he encountered.

Theodore de Bry, who was known for his detailed and often sensationalized engravings of the New World, included Staden's narrative in his collection "Grand Voyages" (Grands Voyages), a multi-volume series of travel narratives that depicted the exploration and colonization of the Americas. De Bry's engravings played a significant role in shaping European perceptions of the New World and its inhabitants. His works are characterized by their intricate detail and dramatic flair, often emphasizing the exotic and sometimes violent aspects of indigenous life to appeal to European audiences.

The engraving of Hans Staden's capture is particularly notable for its depiction of the Tupinambá and their customs, as seen through the eyes of a European captive. It reflects the fascination and fear with which Europeans viewed the native peoples of the Americas, as well as the complex interactions between explorers, colonizers, and indigenous populations during the period of early contact and conquest.

Theodore de Bry's engravings, including the depiction of Hans Staden's capture, are important historical artifacts that contribute to our understanding of early modern European colonialism and cross-cultural encounters. They remain subjects of study for scholars interested in art history, anthropology, and the history of European expansion.
