EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving from 1590, depicting a Guanche man from the Canary Islands. Created by the talented artist Cesare Vecellis, this artwork offers us a glimpse into the rich history and culture of these islands. The Guanches were the indigenous people of the Canary Islands before Spanish colonization, and their unique way of life is beautifully captured in this engraving. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring this historical figure to life, allowing us to appreciate his traditional attire and distinctive features. With his gaze fixed upon us, we are transported back in time to an era when these islands flourished with their own customs and traditions. Preserved in the Biblioteca Episcopal in Barcelona, Spain, this engraving holds immense historical significance. It serves as a testament to both Vecellis' artistic talent and Santiago Ortega's dedication to preserving cultural heritage. As we admire this vertical print, let us reflect on the resilience of ancient civilizations like that of the Guanches. Their legacy lives on through art forms such as these engravings, reminding us of our shared human history across continents.
