EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "MONTEZUMA II: DEATH, 1520" we are transported back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts the aftermath of the death of Aztec emperor Montezuma II and a local lord in June 1520. Spaniards can be seen solemnly carrying their lifeless bodies towards the water for burial. The drawing, compiled by Bernardino de Sahagun in his Codex Florentino around 1540, offers us a glimpse into the early days of Latin America's encounter with European explorers during the Age of Discovery. It is an evocative representation of the Spanish conquest and its impact on Mesoamerican civilizations. Amidst a backdrop of mid-16th century Mexico, we witness men dressed in traditional Aztec attire carrying their fallen leaders. Their robes and plumed hats symbolize their noble status within this ancient civilization that thrived long before Europeans arrived on these shores. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the clash between two worlds - one representing centuries-old indigenous cultures deeply rooted in Mesoamerica, while the other embodies Renaissance-era Europe seeking new lands and riches across oceans. As we contemplate this historical moment frozen in time through art, let us reflect upon the complexities and consequences that emerged from such encounters between native peoples and conquistadors.
