EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the Spanish Conquest of 1519. The image showcases Hernando Cortes, the renowned conquistador, being warmly welcomed by Tlaxcaltec native Indians. As depicted in this artwork from the Lienzo de Tlaxcala canvas, these indigenous people believed Cortes to be the god Quetzalcoatl incarnate. The scene is filled with intrigue and cultural exchange as gifts are presented to Cortes by the Tlaxcaltec natives. The conquistador sits atop his majestic horse, adorned with an equestrian helmet and robe, symbolizing his authority and power. The indigenous men stand before him respectfully, holding spears as a sign of both protection and reverence. This image beautifully encapsulates the clash of civilizations that occurred during this era of discovery in Latin America. It represents not only the arrival of European influence but also highlights how deeply ingrained religious beliefs shaped interactions between different cultures. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the complexities inherent within colonial encounters. This artwork serves as a visual testament to an important chapter in Mexican history – one that forever altered the course of Mesoamerican civilization and marked a turning point for both Spain and its newly discovered territories in the New World.
