Ruy Velazquez geeft de zonen van Lara hun opdracht 1612

This etching by Italian artist Antonio Tempesta depicts a historical scene from the 16th century. Created in 1612, the artwork portrays Ruy Velazquez giving orders to his sons. The print captures the dramatic moment of the scene, with the figures of the soldiers, their horses, and the women in the foreground, all contributing to the sense of urgency and tension. The etching is part of a larger series of works, known as "The Seven Brothers of Ruy Velazquez," which are considered a valuable resource for understanding the history of the Spanish conquest.
