This image depicts an informational display board, likely situated indoors in a museum or cultural center. The board is presented vertically and slightly angled, with a light yellow background and blue and green borders. The central theme of the panel is Francisco Tito Yupanqui, identified by the main title: "FRANCISCO TITO YUPANQUI. El escultor de la Virgen de Copacabana." The board provides a biography of Yupanqui, detailing his Inca lineage, his apprenticeship as a sculptor in Potosí in 1580, and his creation and subsequent transportation of an image of the Virgin of Candelaria (later known as the Virgin of Copacabana) to Copacabana. It also mentions his later work on other Virgin sculptures and his death in Arequipa in 1608. Several visual elements accompany the text: * At the top, there is a stylized illustration labeled "Huayna Capac, Quipu de Guaman Poma," depicting an Inca figure. * A "GENEALOGIA DE TITO YUPANQUI" (Genealogy of Tito Yupanqui) chart visually traces his ancestry, including names like Tupa Yupanqui, Huayna Capac, and Paullu. * An "ESCUDO DE ARMAS DE LA FAMILIA TITO YUPANQUI" (Coat of Arms of the Tito Yupanqui Family) is displayed. * An illustration of Francisco Tito Yupanqui in traditional attire is also present. * Another section titled "VIRGIN OF COPACABANA SCULPTOR" (though partially obscured or faded in OCR) appears to describe the Virgin image. The overall activity presented is an educational display, offering historical and cultural insights into a significant figure in Andean art and religious history, particularly related to La Paz, Bolivia, and the region.
