EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient Incan civilization of Peru. The image showcases an Incan nobleman, adorned in richly colored garments and intricate jewelry, as he receives a report from one of his trusted officials. The nobleman's expression exudes authority and wisdom, reflecting the weight of responsibility that rests upon his shoulders. In the official's hand is a quipu, a unique tool used by the Incas for counting and recording important facts and events. This simple yet ingenious device consists of various colored strings with knots tied at different intervals, each representing specific information. It serves as a testament to the advanced knowledge and organizational skills possessed by this remarkable civilization. The artist behind this masterpiece is Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala, who created this drawing around 1600. Through his skilled hand, he brings to life not only the nobleman but also provides us with insight into Incan culture during that era. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to a time when Latin America was flourishing with vibrant civilizations like the Incas. It reminds us of their ingenuity and sophistication while leaving us in awe of their accomplishments in artistry and governance. This print serves as both an educational piece on Peruvian history and an exquisite work of art that captures our imagination.
