EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a couple of Moyobamma metisses engrossed in their work at an iron forge. The image is extracted from the book "Trujillo del Peru" or "Códice Martínez Compañón" authored by Baltazar Martinez Compañón y Bujanda, the bishop of Trujillo during 1782-1785. Created by an unknown artist in the 18th century, this watercolor painting resides within the Palacio Real de Madrid in Spain. The picture offers a glimpse into daily life and customs prevalent in Peru during that era. It beautifully captures the essence of Peruvian culture, civilization, and its diverse population. In this scene, we witness a woman diligently working alongside her male counterpart as they skillfully manipulate iron metal within the confines of a forge. Their craftsmanship exemplifies their expertise as blacksmiths and foundrymen. The artwork not only highlights their technical prowess but also reflects upon gender roles and societal expectations prevalent at that time. The juxtaposition between femininity and virility is evident as both individuals contribute equally to their craft with unwavering dedication. Through this exquisite watercolor painting, we are transported back to 18th-century Peru - a South American country rich in history and cultural heritage. This piece serves as a testament to everyday life for Peruvians during that period while showcasing the talent and artistry of both painter and subject alike.
