EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Kero with Formal Style Scene" from the mid 17th century. Created by Incan artisans, this ceremonial cup is made of wood and adorned with lacquer-like paint, adding a touch of opulence to its already impressive design. Measuring at 19.05 cm, it currently resides in the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. The Kero itself holds great historical significance as an ancient South American artifact used for ceremonial purposes. Its intricate craftsmanship and elaborate scenes depict a post-Conquest Inca culture that has long fascinated anthropologists and art enthusiasts alike. Part of The Nora and John Wise Collection, generously bequeathed by John Wise in 1983, this piece represents a tangible link to our past. It transports us back to the vibrant world of the 17th century when South America was alive with cultural richness. The wood material used in its creation adds warmth and depth to its overall appearance while the lacquer-like paint brings forth vivid colors that have stood the test of time. This combination creates a visual feast for those who appreciate fine art. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to tell stories from centuries ago. It serves as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity while offering us glimpses into cultures that have shaped our world today. With every brushstroke preserved on this print, we are invited to explore South America's rich heritage and delve deeper into our own understanding of history and artistry.
