EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate engraving of the cover of Antonio de Herrera's "General History of the Deeds of the Castilians on the Islands and Mainland of the Ocean Sea Known As the West Indies" from 1601 to 1615. The Fifth Decade features detailed portraits of Inca Kings Inca Roca and Yahuar Huacac, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of pre-Columbian America.
The artwork captures a pivotal period in history, depicting the Spanish conquest and colonization of the Americas during the early modern era. The regal attire and symbols of power worn by these Inca rulers symbolize their authority over their empire in Cuzco, Peru.
Through this engraving, viewers are transported back in time to witness firsthand the clash between European colonizers and indigenous civilizations. The meticulous attention to detail in this piece reflects Herrera's dedication to chronicling these significant events for future generations.
Displayed at the Library of Institute Hispanic Culture in Madrid, Spain, this print serves as a reminder of our shared past and encourages us to reflect on how history continues to shape our present-day world.
