EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Inca Empire, specifically showcasing a Chasquis or Chaskis, a messenger runner. The image depicts the Chasquis with a qipi on his back, which was used as a carrying bag for important messages and items. In his hands, he holds a Quipu (Quipo, Quipou), an intricate system of knotted strings that served as a method of record-keeping for the Incas. The artist beautifully captures the essence of this historical figure through detailed ink drawing. The Chasquis is shown playing pututo, a trumpet made from conch shell. This instrument was not only used for communication but also played during ceremonies and celebrations. The manuscript "Nueva coronica y buen gobierno" by Don Felipe Puma de Ayala serves as inspiration for this artwork. Created around 1587 in Lima, it provides valuable insights into the life and culture of the Incas. Displayed at Museo Nacional de Antropologia e Historia del Perú in Lima, Peru, this print offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in ancient history. It reminds us of the incredible achievements and advancements made by civilizations long ago. Giancarlo Costa's skillful rendering brings these elements together to create an evocative piece that transports us to another era. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but marvel at the ingenuity and resilience of those who came before us.
