EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "The body of Huayana Capac being carried from Quito to Cuzco for burial" takes us back in time to a significant moment in history. The image depicts the solemn procession of the deceased Inca emperor, Huayana Capac, as his body is transported from Quito to Cuzco for its final resting place. Created by Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala in the 16th century, this woodcut offers a glimpse into the rituals and customs surrounding death and mourning during that era. It serves as a poignant reminder of the impact of colonization on indigenous cultures. Huayana Capac's untimely demise was attributed to smallpox, an infectious disease introduced by Spanish conquistadors who had arrived in South America. This tragic event marked not only the end of an era but also symbolized the conquest and subjugation faced by native populations at the hands of European colonizers. The intricate details captured within this artwork transport us to ancient Peru and Ecuador, where we witness mourners dressed in traditional costumes carrying their ruler's litter with utmost reverence. The somber atmosphere depicted here reflects both grief and respect for their fallen leader. As we contemplate this historic woodcut print, let us remember those whose lives were forever altered by colonialism while appreciating art's ability to preserve moments that shape our understanding of human history.
