EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Don Francisco Pizarro setting fire to the house of Poma de Ayalas grandfather" we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history. Created by Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala, a Peruvian artist from the 16th century, this artwork depicts the Spanish conquistador Don Francisco Pizarro Gonzalez committing an act of arson. The scene is filled with intensity as Pizarro stands tall, holding a flaming torch that illuminates his determined face. The burning house symbolizes the conquest and colonization of Peru by European powers during that era. It represents not only destruction but also the erasure of indigenous cultures and traditions. Poma de Ayala's work is part of his renowned manuscript called "The New Chronicle and Good Government". Through his artistry, he aimed to document the history and social conditions of Peru under Spanish rule. This particular image serves as a powerful reminder of the immense power dynamics at play during colonial times. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but reflect on the profound impact that such events had on South America and its native peoples. It serves as a poignant tribute to those who suffered under foreign domination while also highlighting their resilience and strength in preserving their heritage against all odds. This woodcut print invites us to delve into history, sparking conversations about conquests, cultural assimilation, and our responsibility towards understanding past injustices for a more inclusive future.
