"New Spain: A Tapestry of History and Culture" Step into the vibrant world of New Spain, where revolution, faith, and exploration intertwine to create a rich tapestry of history. In 1810, Mexico's cry for freedom echoed through the land as Miguel Hidalgo called upon his countrymen to revolt against Spanish rule. The mural by Juan O Gorman captures this pivotal moment in Mexican history with its vivid depiction. Amidst the turmoil, devotion to La Virgen de Guadalupe remained unwavering. The oil on canvas painting from 1691 showcases the enduring love and reverence Mexicans hold for their beloved patroness. The Governors Palace on Santa Fe Plaza stands as a testament to New Spain's colonial past. Dating back to the 1600s, it exudes an aura of grandeur and serves as a reminder of the power wielded by Spanish authorities during that era. The Mixtecs' journey towards worship is depicted in an engraving based on the Codex Porfirio Diaz from the early 16th century. It portrays both their spiritual beliefs and encounters with Spanish missionaries who erected crosses along their path. Beyond Mexico's borders lies St. Augustine, Florida - founded in 1565 by Pedro Menendez de Aviles. This wood engraving transports us back in time when European explorers sought new lands across uncharted waters. Intriguing portraits also grace New Spain's artistic legacy; "Morisca Woman and Albino Girl" (c. 1750) depicts diversity within society while "Noble woman with Her Black Slave" (c. 1783) offers glimpses into social dynamics at that time. Religious art holds great significance throughout New Spain; "Saint Michael" (c. 1840), painted with water-based paint on wood panel, exemplifies religious devotion prevalent during this period.
