SPANISH CONQUEST, 1519 - A Glimpse into the Age of Discovery
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Spanish conquest of Mexico in 1519. At its center stands Hernando Cortes, the renowned conquistador who led this audacious expedition. Flanked by his loyal companion Bernal Diaz and a formidable band of Tlaxcaltecs, they march with determination towards Tenochtitlan, now known as Mexico City. The image is taken from the Lienzo de Tlaxcala canvas, a remarkable piece that chronicles this significant chapter in Latin American history. The drawing showcases an early equestrian scene where Cortes confidently rides atop his horseman's hill. His presence exudes power and ambition as he leads his men forward. The composition highlights the fusion of cultures during this encounter between Old World Europe and Mesoamerica. The Tlaxcaltecs, indigenous warriors allied with Cortes against their Aztec rivals, display their fierce loyalty marching alongside their Spanish counterparts. This print transports us back to an era when empires clashed and new worlds were discovered. It serves as a reminder of the complexities inherent in historical events like these – moments that shaped not only nations but also individuals' lives forever. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of both triumphs and tragedies that unfolded during this period – a testament to human resilience and exploration amidst cultural clashes on both sides.
