EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the powerful figure of Atabalipa, Roi du Perou (King of Peru), believed to have been created by Jerome David in the late 16th or early 17th century. The image portrays Atabalipa, also known as Atahuallpa or Atahualpa, wearing a magnificent feathered headdress that symbolizes his status as emperor of the Inca civilization. Jerome David's engraving beautifully captures the essence of this indigenous leader, highlighting his regal demeanor and commanding presence. The intricate details in the artwork emphasize every feather on his majestic headgear, showcasing both its cultural significance and artistic craftsmanship. Atabalipa's reign marked a tumultuous period in history when European conquest was rapidly encroaching upon South America. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the clash between two worlds - one representing ancient traditions and indigenous heritage, while the other signifies invasion and colonization. The location is believed to be Chartres de Langlois in France where Francois Langlois resided during this time. It is here that Jerome David skillfully immortalized Atabalipa through his artistry. This print not only preserves an important historical moment but also pays homage to the resilience and majesty of indigenous people throughout history. It invites viewers to reflect upon their own heritage while appreciating the rich cultural tapestry woven by civilizations long gone.
