EDITORS COMMENTS
This ink drawing, titled "Inca from Cuzco and English conquistador receiving gifts in exchange of Inca emperor Atahualpa's freedom" transports us back to the 16th century during the tumultuous period of Spanish conquest in South America. Created by Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala, this artwork is part of a manuscript called "Nueva coronica y buen gobierno" which vividly illustrates the life and history of the Incas. The scene depicted showcases a pivotal moment in history as an English conquistador stands face-to-face with an Inca from Cuzco. The two figures engage in a negotiation, exchanging precious stones as gifts for the release of Inca Emperor Atahualpa who had been captured by the Spanish conquerors. This dramatic encounter highlights both cultural differences and power dynamics between these two worlds colliding. Through intricate details and skilled use of ink, Luisa Ricciarini brings this historical event to life once again. The drawing captures not only the physical features but also conveys emotions that must have filled this tense interaction. It serves as a reminder of how human lives were shaped by these encounters, forever altering their destinies. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the complex tapestry that is human history - one woven with triumphs and tragedies alike. It invites us to reflect on our shared past while acknowledging its complexities and consequences for generations to come.
