EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white ink drawing, titled "The sacrifice of a lama on the occasion of an Inca rite" takes us back in time to the ancient Inca Empire. Created around 1587 by Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala, this artwork is part of the manuscript "Nueva coronica y buen gobierno" which beautifully illustrates the life and customs of the Incas. In this scene, we witness a solemn ritual taking place as an offering to the gods. A group of individuals dressed in traditional Inca attire surrounds a magnificent lama, its majestic presence commanding attention. The artist's intricate detailing captures every nuance and emotion, from their expressions filled with reverence to their carefully choreographed movements. The sacrificial act depicted here symbolizes both devotion and gratitude towards higher powers believed to govern nature and human existence. It serves as a reminder that rituals played an integral role in shaping Incan society, connecting them spiritually with their surroundings. Through this remarkable piece of art, Luisa Ricciarini invites us into a world long gone but still preserved within historical records. It offers us insight into the rich cultural heritage of South America's indigenous people while simultaneously highlighting their deep connection with animals such as llamas. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of our shared humanity but also our collective fascination with ancient civilizations and their profound beliefs.
