EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "IPERU: SUN WORSHIP" takes us back in time to witness a profound moment of Peruvian culture. The image showcases a group of Peruvians engaging in the age-old tradition of worshipping the sun, an integral part of their belief system. The woodcut, originally featured in Girolamo Benzonis' Historia del Mondo Nuovo, transports us to Venice, Italy in 1572. It beautifully captures the essence of this Latin American tribe's devotion to their deity - the Sun God. In this scene, we see a magnificent pyramid-like temple serving as the backdrop for this sacred ritual. The building's exterior exudes grandeur and mystery, reflecting the significance placed upon it by these indigenous people. The individuals depicted are adorned with traditional attire that reflects their rich cultural heritage. With outstretched arms and faces turned towards the sky, they offer prayers and homage to their revered sun deity. This powerful visual narrative provides a glimpse into pre-Columbian Andean folklore and offers insight into how ancient civilizations like the Incas worshipped celestial bodies. Through this woodcut print, we can appreciate both the artistic skill behind its creation as well as gain a deeper understanding of Peru's historical roots.
