EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Submission of Sayri Tupac to Don Hurtado de Mendoza, Viceroy of Peru," depicts a significant moment in the colonial history of Peru during the 16th century. The image captures the encounter between the last Inca ruler, Sayri Tupac, and the newly appointed Viceroy, Don Andrés Hurtado de Mendoza, in 1560. Sayri Tupac, dressed in a simple loincloth and seated on the ground, is shown submitting to the authority of the Spanish conqueror, Don Hurtado de Mendoza, who is depicted in grandeur, wearing the robes of a 3rd Marquis and the insignia of the Viceroyalty of Peru. The meeting took place in Lima, the capital city of the colony, marking the formal end of the Inca Empire. The engraving, created in 1807, is a testament to the profound impact of the Spanish conquest on the indigenous peoples of the Americas. It provides a visual representation of the power dynamics between the colonial rulers and the native population during this period. The image also highlights the contrasting worlds of the modern age and the interior of the colonial empire, with the European monarch represented by the Viceroy and the indigenous ruler, Sayri Tupac, symbolizing the native people. The engraving serves as an essential historical document, offering valuable insights into the colonial era and the complexities of the encounter between European and indigenous cultures. It is a poignant reminder of the profound changes that occurred during this period and the lasting impact they had on the peoples and societies of the Americas.
