EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cock fight, a noble attends the duel" showcases an intriguing scene from the 18th century book "Trujillo del Peru" or "CAodice MartAinez CompaAnAon". The image depicts a vibrant watercolor painting by an unknown artist, housed in the Palacio Real de Madrid, Spain. The artwork offers us a glimpse into the daily life and customs of Peru during that era. In this particular scene, we witness a thrilling cockfight taking place in an arena filled with spectators. A nobleman stands among them, his presence adding an air of prestige to the event. Cockfighting was not only a popular form of entertainment but also served as a gambling activity for punters and bettors who eagerly placed their bets on these intense duels. The game itself involved two roosters engaging in combat while onlookers cheered and wagered money. The painting beautifully captures the energy and excitement of this cultural tradition prevalent in South America at that time. It reflects both the wildlife aspect with its depiction of birds as well as human involvement through its portrayal of gamblers engrossed in this money game. Through this artwork, we gain insight into Peruvian society's leisure activities and how even nobility would partake in such pastimes during their spare time. This piece serves as a testament to the rich history and heritage found within Latin American culture. Overall, this print is not just an exquisite work of art but also provides valuable historical context about everyday life and societal dynamics during the 18th century in Peru.
