Capitulación de Ayacucho

On the occasion of the first centenary of Peruvian independence, the government of Augusto B. Leguía commissioned from the Huancavelica-born, Europe-based artist Daniel Hernández Morillo, a painting to commemorate the Battle of Ayacucho. Rather than producing a battle scene, with horses and cannons, Hernández chose to paint the official surrender.
In this painting, several figures can be seen, including Antonio José de Sucre and the royalist general José Canterac, gathered in the house of the governor of the small town of Quinua. Also depicted are Agustín Gamarra, José de La Mar and the English soldier Guillermo Miller. Having been wounded in the battle, the viceroy La Serna was not present.
