EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment between the Inca king, Atahualpa (or Atabaliba), and Francisco Pizarro. The image showcases the grandeur and power of the Inca civilization as Atahualpa is carried on a litter to meet with Pizarro. The Inca king holds a scepter in the shape of a sun, symbolizing his divine authority. The engraving by Theodore de Bry, created in 1595, depicts this pivotal encounter that would ultimately shape the destiny of both civilizations. Accompanied by Amerindians in the Cajamarca valley, Atahualpa approaches Pizarro with an air of regality and confidence. This historic meeting represents not only a clash of cultures but also an unequal power dynamic between European conquistadors and indigenous peoples. It marks a turning point in history when two worlds collided and forever changed each other's fate. Luisa Ricciarini's expert reproduction brings this remarkable scene to life once again. Through her meticulous attention to detail, we are transported back in time to witness this crucial moment firsthand. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of human history and how it continues to shape our present-day world.
