EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant historical moment from the 16th century - Spanish conquistadors, alongside their native Tlazcalan allies, launching an attack on an Aztec temple. The image is a copy of a section of the drawings from the Lienzo de Tlazcala, unfortunately lost during the Mexican revolution in the 19th century. In this scene of warfare and conquest, we witness mounted soldiers charging towards the imposing temple with fierce determination. The Spanish conquistadors brandish their weapons - swords and lances - while donning shields for defense. Their Tlazcalan allies join them in battle, showcasing unity against a common enemy. The composition highlights not only the military aspect but also religious symbolism as warriors wear intricate headdresses denoting their spiritual beliefs. Vibrant colors add depth to this depiction of imperialism and invasion. Through this powerful image, we glimpse into Mexico's tumultuous past as it faced foreign invaders seeking to expand their influence. It serves as a reminder of both the bravery exhibited by defenders and conquerors alike during this era. Created by Lienzo de Tlazcala (unknown artist), this print captures an important chapter in history that shaped Mexico's cultural landscape forever.
