EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical figure who played a significant role in the conquest of Mexico. The Indian princess Malinche, also known as Dona Marina, is depicted here interpreting for Hernando Cortes, the renowned Spanish conquistador. Painted by Diego Duran in the 16th century on vellum, this artwork now resides in the Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid. Malinche's story is one of complexity and intrigue. Gifted to Cortes as spoils of war, she became his trusted translator and confidante during his expeditions. Her ability to bridge language barriers between the Spanish conquerors and indigenous peoples was invaluable. In this image, we witness her translating with utmost precision while standing beside Cortes. Her presence exudes strength and intelligence as she navigates two worlds colliding amidst conquest. The manuscript itself, part of Codex Duran's "Historia De Las Indias" serves as a testament to their intertwined destinies. It encapsulates an era marked by exploration, power struggles, love affairs, and cultural exchanges. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from centuries past, it reminds us that history is not just about grand events but also about individuals like Malinche who shaped its course through their unique perspectives and contributions.
