EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print, we are transported back in time to witness a historic meeting between Martin de Ayala, the esteemed ambassador of the Inca emperor, and two influential Spanish conquistadors - Francisco Pizarro Gonzalez and Diego de Almagro. The image beautifully captures the moment of their encounter, as Ayala extends his hand in greeting towards Pizarro and Almagro. Martin de Ayala played a crucial role as a mediator between the Inca empire and the Spanish colonizers. As depicted here, he warmly embraces these foreign ambassadors who arrived on behalf of their king. This meeting symbolizes an important chapter in South American history - one that would ultimately shape the fate of Peru and its indigenous people. The woodcut showcases intricate details such as traditional costumes worn by all three men. Their attire reflects both cultural differences and similarities, highlighting the merging of worlds during this era of colonization. Furthermore, Pizarro's armor stands out prominently against Ayala's more modest clothing, emphasizing the power dynamics at play during this encounter. This remarkable artwork is part of Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala's renowned collection titled "The New Chronicle and Good Government". Through his masterful craftsmanship, Huaman skillfully immortalizes this significant historical event for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of conquests but also of human connections forged amidst complex circumstances - a testament to our shared past in The Americas.
