EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Hernan Cortes' entry into Tlaxcala, a pivotal event in the Conquest of Mexico. The series of paintings, created in the 16th century by Santiago Ortega, vividly portrays this significant chapter in history. In this image, we see Cortes astride his majestic horse as he leads his Spanish troops into the heartland of Tlaxcala. The vibrant colors bring to life the clash between two worlds - Spain and Mexico - as well as the collision of cultures that defined this era. The painting is housed in Madrid's Museum of America, where it stands as a testament to both conquest and colonization. It serves as a reminder of Spain's influence on modern-day Mexico and its lasting impact on their shared history. Hernan Cortes himself was an enigmatic figure; a conqueror driven by ambition and fueled by determination. His arrival in Tlaxcala marked a turning point in his quest for power and riches, forever altering the course of Mexican history. As we gaze upon this vertical masterpiece, we are transported back to a time when empires clashed and new horizons were discovered. It is through works like these that we can appreciate not only the artistic skill but also gain insight into our collective pasts. This print allows us to delve deeper into an extraordinary period that shaped nations and left an indelible mark on humanity's story.
