Magical Meeting

0.0 x 0.0

36" x 24" oil on canvas The chief of Kanchiskucha jealously protected his daughter from would-be suitors. No one was good enough for his beautiful daughter. Actually he desired her, but would not act on these feelings. When he discovered she had already given her heart to the young warrior Chanka, he cast a mighty spell about her, turning her into a waterfall and dooming her to separation from her lover for all eternity. In the light of the full moon it is said that their ghosts are seen on opposite cliffs of the waterfall, arms outstretched in yearning.
