EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "An Inca asks a Spaniard what he eats, he replies Gold". Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala takes us back to the era of conquest and colonialism in South America. The image depicts a significant encounter between an Inca and a Spaniard, highlighting the stark cultural differences that existed during this tumultuous period. The artwork portrays an Inca man curiously questioning the Spaniard about his diet. To the astonishment of the native Peruvian, the conquistador responds with a cheeky remark: "Gold". This clever exchange serves as a powerful metaphor for how greed and exploitation drove Spanish colonization in search of wealth. Poma de Ayala's woodcut technique adds depth and texture to this historical scene, capturing intricate details of both characters' costumes and expressions. The artist's work is part of his larger masterpiece known as "The First New Chronicle and Good Government" which aimed to document indigenous life before it was forever altered by European influence. This thought-provoking print invites viewers to reflect on the consequences of colonialism while shedding light on the clash between two worlds. It serves as a reminder that history is not always written from one perspective but can be interpreted through various lenses, allowing us to explore complex narratives such as those found within Peru's rich past.
