EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from ancient Peru, showcasing the Incas in all their glory. In front of a mystical moon eclipse, these Peruvian ancestors are depicted in "The Old and Modern Costume" by Jules Ferrario, dating back to 1819-1820. The image is part of a private collection and was beautifully preserved by Giulio Ferrario (1767-1847). In this remarkable composition, we witness the fusion of culture, spirituality, and astronomy. A young girl stands at the center holding a drum while surrounded by individuals adorned in traditional attire. Their knowledge of celestial events is evident as they gather to observe this rare lunar phenomenon. The power of music resonates through the air as percussion instruments fill the night with rhythmic beats. This ritualistic display showcases the deep connection between music and religion within Inca society. It serves as a reminder that for them, sound was not only an art form but also an integral part of their spiritual practices. As we delve into this pre-Columbian world filled with shamanism and ancient customs, we gain insight into South America's rich cultural heritage. The tambourine held by one woman symbolizes her role as both musician and spiritual guide during these sacred ceremonies. Through Giancarlo Costa's lens, we are transported back in time to witness an astronomical event that fascinated our ancestors centuries ago—a testament to humanity's enduring curiosity about the cosmos.
