EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print by Felipe Huaman Poma de Ayala, titled "The Month of July, storing maize and potatoes" offers a glimpse into the daily life scene of the Incan Empire. The image showcases the bustling activity during the summer harvest season in Peru's Andes Mountains. In this vibrant depiction, farmers are seen diligently carrying grain sacks to storage barns while llamas patiently wait nearby. The abundance of maize and potatoes being stored symbolizes the prosperity and sustenance provided by these crops to the Incan people. Amidst this agricultural setting, we also spot chickens pecking at scattered grains and a loyal dog keeping watch over his master's work. These small details add depth to an already lively composition, showcasing how animals played an integral role in farming practices during that era. "The Month of July" not only captures a specific moment in time but also serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of South America. This woodcut print is part of Poma de Ayala's renowned work, "The New Chronicle and Good Government" which provides invaluable insights into Incan society. As we admire this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder's private collection, let us appreciate its historical significance and marvel at how it beautifully encapsulates both nature's bounty and human ingenuity within one frame.
