EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Sebastian de Benalcazar and Hernando Pizarro confront Atahualpa Inca at the Royal Baths in Cajamarca" 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. The scene depicted here transports us to the heart of the conquest of Peru. Sebastian de Benalcazar and Hernando Pizarro, two Spanish conquistadors, stand face-to-face with Atahualpa Inca, the last ruler of the Inca Empire. Their meeting takes place against the backdrop of the Royal Baths in Cajamarca. In this powerful image, we witness a clash between two worlds - that of European colonizers seeking power and wealth, and that of indigenous rulers defending their land and heritage. The tension is palpable as these opposing forces come together. Atahualpa's fate hangs precariously in the balance as he stands before his captors. This encounter ultimately leads to his capture after the Battle of Cajamarca and tragically ends with his death. Through intricate details captured by Huaman's skilled hand, we see elements emblematic of both cultures: Spanish armor juxtaposed with traditional Incan attire; horses symbolizing European military might alongside symbols representing ancient Andean civilization. This woodcut print serves as a poignant reminder not only of historical events but also invites contemplation on themes such as colonization
