"The Battle of Cajamarca" is an influential engraving by the Flemish artist and engraver Theodore de Bry, depicting the pivotal encounter between the Spanish conquistadors led by Francisco Pizarro and the Inca Emperor Atahualpa. This historical event took place on November 16, 1532, in the town of Cajamarca, located in the highlands of present-day Peru. De Bry's work is part of his larger collection of engravings that illustrate the early European explorations and encounters with the indigenous peoples of the Americas.

The engraving is a detailed representation of the moment of confrontation and the subsequent massacre that ensued, which led to the capture of Atahualpa and marked a significant turning point in the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. De Bry's work is notable for its intricate detail and dramatic composition, which reflects the European perspective of the 16th-century conquests. It serves as a historical document that offers insight into the European mindset and the portrayal of the events that unfolded during the age of exploration and colonization.

Theodore de Bry (1528–1598) was renowned for his engravings that were based on the accounts of explorers and other primary sources. His works were widely disseminated in Europe and contributed to shaping the contemporary understanding of the New World and its peoples. "The Battle of Cajamarca" is part of his larger body of work known as "America," which consists of a series of volumes that include engravings along with written narratives. These volumes were instrumental in influencing European perceptions of the Americas and its inhabitants during the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

As an important historical and artistic artifact, "The Battle of Cajamarca" continues to be studied by historians, art historians, and scholars interested in the cultural exchanges and conflicts between Europeans and indigenous peoples. The engraving not only captures a moment of violent clash between two worlds but also serves as a testament to the power of visual media in shaping historical memory and understanding.
