EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "PERU: CUSCO, 1556" takes us back in time to the majestic city of Cusco in Peru. The image is a woodcut from Giovanni Battista Ramusio's Navigationi et Viaggi, published in Venice, Italy, in 1556. The cityscape of Cusco unfolds before our eyes, showcasing its rich history and breathtaking beauty. Nestled amidst the towering Andes Mountains, this ancient Inca capital exudes an air of mystery and grandeur. The picture captures the essence of both Latin American and Italian influences that shaped this remarkable place. As we gaze at the scene, we are transported to a time when indigenous American Indian cultures thrived alongside Spanish colonial architecture. The fusion between these two worlds creates a unique atmosphere that still resonates today. The woodcut technique used to create this print adds an artistic touch to the composition. It beautifully portrays the intricate details of Cusco's exterior structures while preserving its authentic charm. This print serves as a window into pre-Columbian Peru—a glimpse into a world where vibrant traditions coexisted with emerging European influences. It invites us to appreciate not only the natural beauty but also the cultural heritage that makes Cusco such an extraordinary destination for travelers and history enthusiasts alike.
