It is one of the six paintings that decorate the nave of the church of sant salvador. It represents chapter 87 of the book of deeds, in which the valí de mallorca offers surrender to king james after the conquest of the city: and we asked don nuno, and told him that we had found the king of mallorca, and that he should come with us, and he said that he was very pleased. And we went there, and they led us to the house where he was, and we dismounted and don nuno, dressed, and entered the house, and there were three courtiers eating with their azagaias. And when we were close to him, he got up with his white cloak, but he was wearing a gonion under the cloak, under a guard of hearts that he wore in white chapsir. And let's make one of those two men from tortosa say out loud that we would send him two knights and one of our men, and that if he had no recourse, if he was in our power, he would no longer die. And on this we told our men not to touch him, and we returned to the door of the almudaina, and told them to give us hostages, and to go out to the old wall, and to talk to us. Date: 1878. Collection: Sant Salvador d’Artà (Q2649795). La Rendició del darrer Valí de Mallorca
