EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fierce and noble spirit of an Inca warrior from ancient Peru. Meet Maitac, a chieftain and leader among his people, as depicted in this pen and ink drawing from Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala's renowned work, "El primer nueva cronica y buen gobierno" (The First New Chronicle and Good Government). Created between 1583-1615, this artwork offers a glimpse into the vibrant history of the Inca Empire. Maitac stands tall with his shield held firmly, ready to defend his land against any threat. The intricate details of his traditional attire reflect the rich cultural heritage of the Andean region. As a native American musician, he carries not only weapons but also music within him—a reminder that art has always been intertwined with warfare in many ancient civilizations. This image transports us back to pre-Columbian times when Peru was ruled by powerful indigenous leaders like Maitac. It serves as a testament to their strength, resilience, and unwavering commitment to their people. As we admire this remarkable piece of art from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, let us appreciate the significance it holds beyond its aesthetic appeal. It symbolizes the indomitable spirit of warriors who fought for their ancestral lands amidst Spanish colonization—an enduring legacy that continues to shape Peruvian identity today.
