EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the red iron branding of a mare, captured from the pages of the book "Trujillo del Peru" or "Códice Martínez Compañón". Created by an unknown artist in the 18th century, this watercolour painting resides within the Palacio Real de Madrid in Spain. The image offers a glimpse into daily life and customs in Peru during that time. The artwork depicts a significant moment in Peruvian culture as a farmer carefully marks his mare with a red-hot iron brand. This act symbolizes ownership and identification within the farming community. Horses were not only essential for transportation but also played crucial roles on farms across South America. The vibrant watercolor technique brings to life every detail of this scene - from the intensity of heat emanating from the branding iron to the stoic expression on both horse and farmer's face. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical documentation. As we observe this artwork, we are transported back centuries ago, gaining insight into agricultural practices, breeding techniques, and everyday tasks performed by countrymen like this farmer. The image captures not only their hard work but also their deep connection with nature and animals. This remarkable piece invites us to appreciate how art can preserve moments from history while simultaneously shedding light on diverse cultures around our world.
