EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Poma de Ayala Kneels Prostrate before King Philip III" we are transported to a significant moment in history. The image showcases the court illustrator, Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala, humbly kneeling before the powerful monarch, King Philip III of Spain. Dressed in regal robes and holding a sceptre, King Philip III sits enthroned on an ornate throne. His presence exudes authority and grandeur as he receives homage from Poma de Ayala. The artist's act of prostration symbolizes respect and submission to the king's rule. This woodcut print is derived from "The First New Chronicle and Good Government" a manuscript authored by Poma de Ayala himself. As an Inca writer living during the 16th century, his work aimed to document and critique Spanish colonial rule over Peru. Through this artwork, we witness the intersection of literature and visual art as Poma de Ayala uses his talents both as a court illustrator and writer to convey his message. This historical piece not only represents the clash between European powers and indigenous cultures but also highlights the power dynamics at play during that era. With its intricate details capturing every nuance of this pivotal encounter, this woodcut print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. It offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in European-Spanish relations while honoring one man's dedication to preserving his culture through various mediums of expression.
