SPANISH CONQUEST, 1521 - A Glimpse into the Age of Discovery

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1521, during the Spanish conquest of Mexico. The image depicts Hernando Cortes, a renowned conquistador, and a Tlaxcaltec chief overseeing native workers in constructing boats. These vessels would play a crucial role in Cortes' audacious plan to sail against Tenochtitlan. The scene showcases the collision of two worlds - that of the indigenous people and European explorers. With an air of colonialism hanging over them, Cortes stands tall as he directs his men while the Tlaxcaltec chief provides guidance from his own perspective. Intriguingly, this snapshot is not captured through modern photography but rather through a contemporary Aztec drawing. This adds depth and authenticity to our understanding of this historical event. It reminds us that history is often shaped by multiple perspectives and interpretations. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork, we witness laborious construction taking place under open skies. The workers diligently carve out each detail with their tools while surrounded by lush Latin American landscapes. This maritime endeavor symbolizes both ambition and determination as these men venture into uncharted waters towards new horizons. This remarkable piece encapsulates an era marked by exploration, conquests, cultural encounters, and profound changes in Latin America's destiny – forever altering its course within the New World during the Renaissance period.
