caption_attribution_description: Español: Pintura venezolana de principios del siglo XX que representa al fundador de Caracas, el zamorano Diego de Losada. El pintor, anacrónicamente, lo pinta con una bandera española rojigualda (creada en el siglo XVIII, doscientos años después de la etapa de la conquista). English: Diego de Losada. Portrait done by Herrea Toro in the early 20th century. The painter has anachronistically depicted the conquistador with the red-and-yellow Spanish flag, which was created in the 18th century, two centuries after the conquest.
