EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print captures the newly crowned Manco Inca on his majestic throne in Cuzco. Created by Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala, this artwork is a part of The New Chronicle and Good Government collection. Manco Inca Yupanqui, the Incan emperor, was initially installed as a puppet ruler by Spanish conquistadors but later rebelled against their oppressive rule. Dressed in an elaborate traditional costume befitting his royal status, Manco Inca exudes power and determination. His regal presence is enhanced by the intricate details of his attire, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Incas. Surrounding him are loyal troops and warriors ready to defend their leader's cause. The image also highlights elements of colonialism and conquest that shaped South America during that era. The pyramid-like structure behind Manco Inca symbolizes both his authority as king and the hierarchical society he governed. This woodcut print serves as a visual testament to Manco Inca's bravery and resilience in reclaiming his empire from Spanish control. It encapsulates an important chapter in Peruvian history when indigenous leaders fought against foreign domination. As we admire this historic artwork, let us remember the struggles faced by those who resisted colonization while celebrating their enduring legacy today.
