EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Mexico, View of Acapulco - Mexico (Aquapolque)" by Theodore de Bry circa 1630, offers a glimpse into the early colonial settlement at Acapulco. Serving as the main port for Spanish Pacific trade with the Philippines, this bustling harbor is teeming with galleons and maritime activity. However, what truly captures one's attention is the presence of a colossal sea monster lurking in these waters. The image transports us back to a time when Acapulco was a hub of commerce and cultural exchange. The intricate engravings showcase the architectural beauty of Mexican buildings lining the coastline while emphasizing Spain's influence through their grand ships dominating the scene. This engraving serves as a testament to both Spanish colonialism and American history. The artist's attention to detail allows viewers to immerse themselves in this historical moment. From every stroke on paper emerges an atmosphere filled with anticipation and excitement as merchants engage in trade and sailors navigate treacherous waters. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are reminded of how art can transport us across centuries and continents. It invites us to marvel at our shared human history while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such an exquisite depiction of life in 17th-century Acapulco.
