EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Tupac Yupanqui, the tenth Inca ruler of Peru. The image is a pen and ink drawing taken from "El primer nueva cronica y buen gobierno" (The First New Chronicle and Good Government), a renowned historical document created by Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala between 1583-1615. Tupac Yupanqui, an influential figure in the 15th century American Indian Andean culture, is depicted wearing a majestic headdress and royal robe that symbolize his leadership and status as emperor of the Inca Empire. His regal appearance is further enhanced by the presence of a crown atop his head. The illustration captures both the strength and wisdom exuded by Tupac Yupanqui through intricate details such as his shield held firmly in one hand and staff grasped in the other. These elements signify his role as chief protector of his people. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are transported back to a time when South America was still unexplored territory for Europeans - an era known as pre-Columbian times. This artwork serves not only as a visual representation but also provides valuable insights into Peruvian history during this period. Let us appreciate this remarkable piece that immortalizes Tupac Yupanqui's legacy, reminding us of the rich cultural heritage that continues to shape our understanding of ancient civilizations today.
