EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print titled "Native Incas sleep through the morning, neglecting their duties" by Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala depicts a scene of two Inca individuals peacefully slumbering in their humble abode. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures the interior of their house, complete with traditional furnishings and agricultural tools scattered around. The image serves as a poignant commentary on the negligence and indolence displayed by these agricultural workers. As they sleep soundly, oblivious to the passing hours, their responsibilities are left unattended. This portrayal sheds light on a momentary lapse in productivity within an otherwise industrious society. Poma de Ayala's woodcut technique adds depth and texture to this historical representation of Inca life in Peru. Through his artistry, we are transported back in time to witness not only the physical environment but also the cultural nuances prevalent during that era. This artwork from New Chronicle and Good Government (El Nueva Coronica y Buen Gobierno) offers us a glimpse into South American history while reminding us of our own human tendencies towards laziness and neglect. It serves as a reminder that even diligent societies can experience moments of idleness or distraction. As we contemplate this intriguing woodcut print, let us reflect upon our own dedication to fulfilling our duties diligently while appreciating the artistic mastery behind this piece.
