EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the first meeting between Francisco Pizarro and Atahualpa in 1532. The image showcases a pen and ink drawing by Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala, created around 1600. In this powerful depiction, we witness the collision of two worlds as Pizarro, the Spanish conquistador, encounters Atahualpa, the last Inca king. The scene is filled with tension and intrigue as these two men from vastly different backgrounds come face to face. Pizarro stands tall in his armor, representing the might of European colonialism and exploration. On the other hand, Atahualpa exudes regal authority as he sits upon his throne adorned with symbols of Inca power. Their contrasting appearances symbolize not only their individual roles but also the clash between Spanish conquest and indigenous resistance. A monk can be seen in the background, perhaps serving as an intermediary or witness to this historic encounter. Spears and halberds are held firmly by warriors on both sides, highlighting that despite their differences they are prepared for any outcome. This extraordinary artwork provides us with a glimpse into a critical moment that shaped Latin American history forever. It reminds us of the complex dynamics at play during colonization - power struggles, cultural clashes, and ultimately profound changes to societies on both sides of this historical divide.
