EDITORS COMMENTS
. This powerful print captures a disturbing scene from Peru during the 16th century, shedding light on the brutal consequences of Spanish conquest in Latin America. Depicted here is a Spanish judge, accompanied by examples of punishments he has imposed upon Peruvian Indians. The image originates from Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala's renowned work "El primer nueva cronica y buen gobierno" published between 1583 and 1615. In this haunting portrayal, we witness the oppressive nature of colonial rule as indigenous men are subjected to various forms of cruelty. Shackled in stocks and bound with ropes, these victims face public humiliation and physical abuse at the hands of their conquerors. The whip serves as an instrument through which pain is inflicted upon these helpless individuals who have fallen prey to Spain's dominance. The artwork highlights not only the physical violence endured by native communities but also their confinement under Spanish authority. It stands as a stark reminder that colonization brought forth immense suffering for those living in pre-Columbian societies across the New World. As we reflect upon this poignant image, it compels us to confront historical injustices and recognize the lasting impact they have had on indigenous cultures. Through art like this, we gain insight into a dark chapter in human history while honoring those who persevered despite unimaginable hardships inflicted upon them by colonial powers.
