EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1519 in Mexico, during the age of discovery. The image showcases Hernando Cortes, a Spanish conquistador, being warmly welcomed by Tlaxcaltec natives who believed him to be the god Quetzalcoatl incarnate. This historical moment is beautifully captured from the Lienzo de Tlaxcala canvas. As we gaze at this mesmerizing scene, we witness Cortes seated on his majestic horse, adorned with an equestrian helmet and spear in hand. The Tlaxcaltec natives surround him with awe and reverence as they present him with precious gifts. The fusion of cultures is palpable in this snapshot from history. It represents a pivotal encounter between the Old World and the New World, as well as between different belief systems. The meeting of Cortes and these indigenous people marks a significant chapter in Latin American history. This artwork not only captures a specific event but also symbolizes the clash of civilizations that occurred during European colonization. It serves as a reminder of how power dynamics were shaped by conquests and religious beliefs.
