EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the intense moment of cultural collision between the old and the new worlds, as depicted in the engraving "Las Casas reproaches Peruvians at Guacheta for sacrificing children to their gods," published in the 1540s. The Spanish friar, Bartolomé de las Casas, stands before a group of Peruvian natives, his hand raised in reproach as he implores them to abandon their ancient customs of sacrificing children to their pagan gods. The scene takes place at Guacheta, a sacred site in the South American highlands, where the indigenous people had long practiced this horrifying rite. The contrast between the primitive beliefs of the Peruvians and the advanced civilization of the Europeans is starkly illustrated in this print. Las Casas, dressed in his traditional robes and holding a crucifix, represents the emerging European tradition of Christianity, which held the sacrifice of children to be an abomination. The Peruvians, dressed in their colorful traditional attire, embody the primitive beliefs and customs of their ancient culture. The image is a powerful reminder of the profound impact that European colonization had on the indigenous peoples of the Americas. It also highlights the complex and often conflicted relationship between the old and the new worlds, as well as the challenges of cultural assimilation and the preservation of traditions. The print is a poignant testament to the human capacity for both cruelty and compassion, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of belief and the importance of understanding and respecting the diversity of human cultures.
