"Spanish Traitors in Panama Executed While Gold Stolen from the Incas is Loaded onto Ships Bound for Spain" is a historical engraving by Theodore de Bry, a renowned 16th-century Flemish engraver and publisher. This work is part of de Bry's larger collection of engravings that depict various scenes from the European exploration and colonization of the Americas. The engraving captures a dramatic moment during the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire, illustrating the execution of Spanish traitors against a backdrop of the plundering of Incan gold.

The scene is set in Panama, a strategic transit point for the Spanish treasure fleets that transported the vast wealth extracted from the New World back to Spain. The engraving vividly portrays the harsh punishment meted out to those deemed traitors by the Spanish authorities, reflecting the brutal enforcement of loyalty and discipline necessary to maintain control over the lucrative operations in the colonies. Simultaneously, the image serves as a stark commentary on the exploitation of indigenous wealth, as the stolen Incan gold is shown being loaded onto the Spanish galleons, ready to cross the Atlantic.

Theodore de Bry's works are significant for their detailed illustrations and their role in shaping European perceptions of the New World. His engravings were widely circulated and contributed to the contemporary understanding of the Americas and its peoples. This particular engraving not only provides a glimpse into the events of the time but also reflects the complex dynamics of power, greed, and betrayal that characterized the Spanish conquest and colonization of the Americas. As with many of de Bry's engravings, while they offer a rich visual history, they also must be viewed critically, considering the artist's perspective and the potential for embellishment or bias in the representation of historical events.
