EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration of Manco Capac, the legendary founder and ruler of the Inca Empire. Taken from the Historia y Genealogia Real de los Reyes Incas del Peru, also known as the Codice Murua, this 16th-century vellum manuscript offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of South America. In this remarkable artwork, Manco Capac is depicted in all his regal splendor. Surrounded by attendants and accompanied by a grand procession, he stands atop a hill with an air of authority and reverence. Dressed in traditional Inca costume, his portrait exudes power and wisdom. The artist skillfully captures not only Manco Capac's physical appearance but also his significance as a tribal leader. The illustration hints at his divine connection to the gods through subtle symbols like homage paid to him on bended knee. As we delve into this image, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in Inca history. It serves as a testament to their advanced civilization and intricate social structure. This print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind its creation but also provides valuable insights into ancient customs, genealogy, and governance systems that shaped one of history's most fascinating empires - the Incas.
