EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A banquet in Lauramarca (Lower Peru)" we are transported back to a time of opulence and cultural exchange. The scene depicts a man, surrounded by Indian women, indulging in the luxuries of his surroundings. As he is served and pampered, his servants engage in a hidden clash behind his back. The composition beautifully captures the stark contrast between the obliviousness of the man at the center and the tension brewing among those around him. It serves as a poignant reminder that appearances can be deceiving, even amidst grandeur. This engraving was created to illustrate Paul Marcoy's voyage through the valleys of Quinquinas in Peru during 1849-1861. Published later in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton, it offers us an intimate glimpse into Peruvian society during that era. The unknown artist skillfully portrays both the allure and complexity of colonial interactions through intricate details and vibrant colors. Each character seems to have their own story to tell within this bustling banquet setting. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also how art has always been a powerful medium for storytelling across cultures and generations.
