EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Battle of Otumba on July 7, 1520. In this intense confrontation, we see the Aztec army facing off against Spanish troops led by the infamous Hernan Cortes. The engraving depicts Cortes' forces descending into the valley where the Aztec general was strategically positioned, showcasing the dramatic clash between two powerful forces.
This historical scene is part of "Historia de la Conquista de Mexico," written by Antonio de Solis y Rivadeneryra, Chronicler of the Indies. Published in Barcelona in 1771, this work delves into the conquest and progress of northern America, known as New Spain during that era. The detailed illustration brings to life a crucial moment in Mexican history and sheds light on the complex dynamics between European conquerors and indigenous civilizations.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time of great upheaval and conflict in Mesoamerica. The bravery and tactics displayed by both sides are evident in every detail of this engraving - from the soldiers' formations to the rugged terrain of Otumba Valley. It serves as a reminder of how past events have shaped our present reality and invites us to reflect on the complexities of conquest and empire-building.
