Codex Osuna: A 16th Century Document of Accusations Against the Viceroy of Mexico This miniature painting, housed in the National Library of Spain in Madrid, is a page from the Codex Osuna. Dated back to the 16th century, this manuscript is a unique compilation of accusations against the Viceroy of Mexico, Luis Velasco, gathered by Jerónimo de Valderrama between the years 1563 and 1565. The scene depicted in the painting shows soldiers diligently building a new village. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the image to life, transporting us back in time to the colonial era of the Spanish Viceroyalty in Mexico. The Codex Osuna is a testament to the complexities of colonialism and the intricate power dynamics that existed during this period. The manuscript is written in both Nahuatl and Spanish, reflecting the multicultural nature of the Spanish Viceroyalty in America. The Codex Osuna is an essential historical document, providing valuable insights into the social, political, and economic conditions of the time. It offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the people, both Spanish and indigenous, who lived and worked in the colonial settlements during the 16th century. The Codex Osuna is an illuminated manuscript, with each page meticulously decorated with intricate miniatures. The painting showcases a group of men, likely soldiers, working together to construct a new village. The use of color and the attention to detail in the painting add to its historical significance and make it a valuable addition to the National Library of Spain's collection.
