EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating woodcut print, "Captain Ruminavi presents Francisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro with two women" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala, this artwork is part of The New Chronicle and Good Government collection. In the image, we witness Captain Ruminavi presenting Spanish conquistadors Francisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro with two women. This scene symbolizes an attempt to persuade the conquerors to return home from their conquests in Peru. It was not uncommon for indigenous people to offer bribes or sacrifices as a means of negotiation during colonization. The detailed depiction showcases the colonial costumes and armors worn by the Spaniards, emphasizing their dominance over the native population. The virgins or maidens presented before them represent both sacrifice and persuasion tactics employed by indigenous communities. This woodcut print sheds light on the complex dynamics between Spain and Peru during this period of colonization in South America. It serves as a reminder of the power imbalances that existed between European colonizers and native populations throughout the Americas. As we explore this artwork further, it invites us to reflect on historical narratives often overlooked or overshadowed by dominant perspectives. Through its intricate details, it offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in time when cultures clashed, alliances were formed through unconventional means, and new chapters began shaping the course of history in Peru.
