EDITORS COMMENTS
This ink drawing, titled "Representation of Manco Capac" transports us back to the ancient Incan civilization and its rich mythology. Created by Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala in the 16th century, this artwork is a part of a manuscript called "Nueva coronica y buen gobierno" that depicts the life of the revered Inca figure. Manco Capac, considered as the legendary founder of the Kingdom of Cusco and the first emperor of the Inca people, stands tall in this portrait. The intricate details captured by Luisa Ricciarini bring to life his mythical presence. Dressed in traditional Incan attire, he exudes power and wisdom. The artist's skillful use of ink adds depth and texture to every stroke, enhancing our connection with this pre-Colombian ruler. As we gaze into his eyes, we can almost feel his strength emanating from within. This piece not only showcases Manco Capac as a historical figure but also highlights his significance in Inca mythology. It serves as a reminder of South America's rich cultural heritage and offers us a glimpse into their belief systems. As we admire this remarkable artwork today, it reminds us that legends like Manco Capac continue to inspire awe and fascination centuries later. Through art such as this ink drawing, we are able to appreciate and celebrate these mythological characters who played an integral role in shaping history.
