EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Aztec drawing depicting a significant event during the Spanish conquest of Mexico. The artwork captures a moment from the expedition led by Nuno de Guzman in 1530, where the Tlaxcalans, a native tribe, joined forces with the Spaniards to seek justice against another tribe that had executed a Spaniard. This particular scene is taken from the now-destroyed Lienzo de Tlaxcala canvas. The image portrays an equestrian figure on horseback, presumably Nuno de Guzman himself, riding alongside his fellow conquistadors. The artist skillfully conveys the intensity and drama of this historic encounter through intricate details and vibrant colors. The viewer can sense both determination and unity as these two cultures come together for their common cause. This Aztec drawing not only offers us a glimpse into this pivotal moment in history but also serves as a testament to the complex dynamics between indigenous peoples and European colonizers during this era of exploration. It symbolizes how alliances were formed amidst cultural clashes and power struggles. As we admire this remarkable piece of art, let it remind us of our shared past and encourage us to reflect upon its implications for our present-day society.
