Description:
This evocative masterpiece depicts the secret nighttime burial of the Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto in 1542. To prevent local indigenous tribes from discovering that de Soto—whom they believed to be an immortal sun god—had died, his men lowered his body into the Mississippi River under the cover of darkness.
