EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Spanish conquest of Mexico. In this scene, we witness Spanish conquistadors unloading their ships upon arrival in Mexico. The drawing is derived from the Codex Florentino, a remarkable treatise compiled by Bernardino de Sahagun, providing invaluable insights into both the Aztecs and the Spanish conquest. The image showcases the bustling activity on the Mexican shores as men clad in traditional Spanish attire work diligently to unload supplies and equipment from sailing ships. Horses can be seen tethered nearby, symbolizing the introduction of these majestic creatures to Mesoamerica during this era. Amidst this scene of foreign invasion, one cannot help but notice native Americans observing with curiosity and perhaps apprehension. Their presence serves as a reminder of the clash between two vastly different cultures that would forever shape Latin America's history. This artwork offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in Mexican history when European powers sought to expand their influence across new lands. It invites contemplation on themes such as colonization, cultural exchange, and power dynamics between conquerors and conquered peoples. As we reflect upon this image, let us remember its historical significance while acknowledging its artistic value as part of Bradley Smith's Carousel Collection - an exquisite collection that celebrates artistry inspired by Latin America's rich heritage.
