EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the heart of Inca civilization - Cuzco, present-day Peru. Captured from the pages of "Civitatis Orbis Terranum" by Braun and Hogenberg in the 16th century, this engraving by Franz Hogenberg offers a glimpse into the rich history of this ancient city. The image showcases a bustling scene with Spanish colonizers and native inhabitants coexisting amidst grand fortifications. The transport vehicles, including wheelchairs and sedan chairs, hint at the diverse modes of transportation during that era. A lance-wielding arm symbolizes both power and conquest as colonialism took hold in South America. As we explore every detail within this artwork, we are reminded of the significant discoveries made during that time when America was first encountered by European explorers. Luisa Ricciarini's meticulous restoration work has brought new life to this historical masterpiece housed at Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice, Italy. Through this image, we are transported to an era where pre-Columbian traditions intertwined with Spanish influence. It serves as a testament to the resilience and cultural richness of indigenous civilizations like the Incas who thrived long before colonization. Luisa Ricciarini's dedication to preserving these invaluable pieces allows us to appreciate their beauty while also reflecting on our shared history. This print is not just a visual delight but also an invitation for contemplation about our collective past and its impact on our present world
