EDITORS COMMENTS
This ink drawing from the 16th century, titled "A young man herding llamas and gathering wood" takes us back in time to the Inca Empire. Created by Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala, this artwork is a part of a private collection that beautifully illustrates the life of an Inca shepherd. In this scene, we see a young shepherd diligently tending to his llama herds while simultaneously collecting wood. The intricate details of the drawing bring to life the bustling activity surrounding him as he navigates through the rugged terrain with his walking stick in hand. The artist's skillful use of ink captures not only the essence of this adolescent shepherd but also provides insight into pre-Columbian American culture. The llamas, iconic animals synonymous with South America, are depicted with precision and grace, showcasing their importance in daily life during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported to a time long gone but preserved through art. It serves as a reminder of our connection to history and how ancient civilizations like the Incas thrived amidst nature's challenges. Luisa Ricciarini has masterfully captured every nuance and detail within this print, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty. This artwork is truly an invaluable treasure that continues to inspire awe and admiration for centuries past.
