EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Peruvian culture - the naming ritual of the sons of the Incas. Created by Bernard Picart in 1723, this engraving is part of his renowned book "Ceremonies et coutumes religieuses de tous les peuples du monde" (Religious Ceremonies and Customs of All the Peoples of the World). Despite never leaving Europe himself, Picart relied on firsthand accounts to depict various religious beliefs and practices. In this scene, we witness an intimate family ceremony taking place within a temple. A mother holds her naked baby boy while a man carefully cuts his hair. This act symbolizes not only physical transformation but also marks the beginning of identity for these young Incan boys. Surrounding them are other members of their community, observing with reverence as they participate in this sacred tradition. Picart's work was groundbreaking for its time, challenging European attitudes towards religious beliefs and shedding light on diverse cultures across the globe. Through his illustrations, he aimed to bridge cultural gaps and foster understanding among different peoples. This image serves as a window into ancient Peruvian customs and traditions that have shaped their society for generations. It reminds us that rituals like these hold deep meaning and significance within communities worldwide, emphasizing our shared humanity despite geographical distances or historical contexts.
