EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the Submission of Sayri Tupac, the last Inca monarch of Cusco, to Don Hurtado de Mendoza, the 3rd Marquis of Canete and Viceroy of Peru, in 1571. The image, created in 1807, is a vivid testament to the colonial history of the Andes region during the Spanish conquest. Sayri Tupac, the last legitimate Inca ruler, is shown humbly submitting to the Spanish conqueror, symbolizing the end of the Inca Empire. The Inca king is dressed in traditional attire, with a royal headdress adorned with feathers and precious stones. Don Hurtado de Mendoza, wearing the insignia of his rank, stands tall and proud, embodying the power and authority of the Spanish crown. The engraving, colored in rich hues, captures the grandeur and solemnity of the moment. The intricate details of the clothing, the expressions on the faces of the characters, and the ornate background all contribute to the visual impact of the print. This document is a significant historical artifact, providing a visual representation of the complex and tumultuous relationship between the Inca civilization and the Spanish conquistadors. It is a poignant reminder of the profound cultural shifts that took place during the colonial period, as the Inca Empire was absorbed into the expanding Spanish Empire. The Submission of Sayri Tupac is a valuable addition to any collection of colonial-era documents and a testament to the rich history of the Andes region. It is a visual narrative of the past, offering insights into the lives of the people who lived during the 16th and 17th centuries and the forces that shaped their world.
