EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable moment in history, depicting the Spanish attack on the city of Xolloco during the conquest of Mexico. The image is a miniature from Bernardino de Sahagun's Florentine manuscript 'Storia degli Aztechi' (History of the Aztecs), created between 1569 and 1575. In this vivid scene, we witness the clash between two worlds as Spanish conquistadors engage in battle with the indigenous Aztec civilization. The intensity and chaos of war are palpable as soldiers armed with weapons advance upon the city, determined to conquer new lands. The illumination within this manuscript captures not only the physical conflict but also symbolizes a clash of civilizations. It represents Spain's ambitious quest for power and dominance over Mesoamerican territories, forever altering their history. As we delve into this historical narrative, it becomes evident that this event was part of a larger story – one that shaped both Europe and America. It serves as a reminder of how different cultures collided during an era marked by exploration, colonization, and conquest. Through this mesmerizing photo print, we are transported back to an era when empires clashed and nations were born. It invites us to reflect on our shared human history while acknowledging its complexities and consequences for native populations. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured this significant moment in time through their lens, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical significance.
