EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tome 3 fol. 7, Montezuma II and his Council, from Teatro de la Nueva Espana" takes us back to the late 18th century in Mexico. The artwork depicts a significant moment in history featuring Montezuma II, the last Mexican Emperor, seated on his majestic throne surrounded by his trusted advisors. The artist behind this masterpiece is Diego Garcia Panes y Avellan, a Spanish military engineer who arrived in Mexico in 1755. Panes later became renowned for his pictorial account of pre-conquest Mexican history called Teatro de la Nueva Espana; however, it was never published. In this scene, we witness the grandeur of Montezuma's court as he consults with his councilors. The composition exudes power and authority as the ruler engages with these wise men who offer their counsel and guidance. Montezuma II played a crucial role during the c15th and c16th centuries in Central America. As an influential figure in Mesoamerica's government, he ruled over a vast empire that encompassed present-day Mexico and parts of Central America. This extraordinary image not only captures the essence of Aztec royalty but also provides valuable insight into pre-Columbian society. Preserved by Biblioteca Nacional de Mexico since then, this piece serves as a visual testament to an era long gone yet forever etched into our collective memory.
