EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured drawing by Hieronyouse Koler, part of the Hohemath Expedition collection at the British Library, depicts a dramatic clash between Venezuelan indigenous peoples and Spanish conquistadors. The scene unfolds with intense energy and emotion as the natives launch a surprise attack on their European invaders. At the bottom right corner, we see Europeans leisurely dining and drinking in their tent, completely unaware of the impending danger. Meanwhile, at the top left corner, some Europeans are caught off guard while sitting in a privy or wash house. The contrast between these relaxed scenes and the chaos of battle highlights both sides' contrasting states of mind. The artist skillfully captures this historical moment with vivid colours and intricate details. The Venezuelans fiercely defend their land armed with bows and arrows, while others engage in close combat wielding swords as they confront the heavily armored conquistadors armed with clubs and weapons. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of South America's complex history marked by colonization and resistance. It portrays an important chapter where indigenous peoples fought against foreign domination to protect their way of life
