EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the first meeting between Francisco Pizarro and Atahualpa in 1532. The image, a drawing from around 1600 by Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala, transports us back to the early days of colonialism and exploration in Peru. In this scene, we witness the clash of two worlds as Pizarro, a Spanish conquistador adorned in armor, comes face to face with Atahualpa, the last Inca king. Both men stand tall and proud; their contrasting attire symbolizing their distinct cultures and backgrounds. The composition is filled with intriguing details - from the halberd held by one of Pizarro's men to the spear grasped firmly by an Inca warrior. A monk stands nearby, representing Christianity's influence on these encounters. The tension between these two powerful figures is palpable as they meet before a royal throne. This encounter would have far-reaching consequences for both parties involved and shape the course of Latin American history. Through this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the complexities surrounding European colonization and its impact on indigenous civilizations like that of the Incas. It serves as a visual reminder of how different worlds collided during this era of exploration and conquest in Peru.
