El Dorado : El delirio de Lope de Aguirre

An emblematic figure in the history of the Spanish conquistadors, Lope de Aguirre fascinates by embodying the torments of an era gripped by madness. A member of an expedition that ended in disaster, he instigated a mutiny and dragged his companions into a chimerical quest for power, killing all who opposed him. Alberto Breccia's artwork offers a stark portrayal of a cruel father, consumed by his demons and driven by his thirst for power and revenge.
