EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating woodcut print titled "Manco Inca attempts to burn the Inca palace of Cuyus Mango, which had been converted for Christian worship, but God intervenes" by Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala depicts a pivotal moment in history. The image showcases Manco Inca Yupanqui, the once puppet ruler installed by Spanish conquistadors who later rebelled against their oppressive rule. In this scene, Manco Inca is seen defiantly attempting to set fire to the sacred Inca palace that had been desecrated and transformed into a Christian place of worship. However, divine intervention takes center stage as God himself steps in to thwart his destructive act. This powerful representation symbolizes the clash between indigenous beliefs and colonialism during the conquest of South America. The intricate details within this woodcut highlight not only the intensity of the rebellion but also provide insight into traditional Incan costume and architecture. It serves as a reminder of both resistance against oppression and cultural preservation amidst colonization. This historic artwork from "The New Chronicle and Good Government" offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on themes such as conquest, rebellion, arson, conversion, and colonialism. Its significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its ability to shed light on a crucial period in Peruvian history.
