EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense Battle of Michoacan between the Spanish and the Aztecs, as depicted in a facsimile of a Mexican Indian picture history known as Lienzo de Tlaxcala. Created around 1550 by Tlaxcalan artists, who were allies of the Spanish during the conquest of Mexico, this codex showcases their major opposition to the Aztec empire. In this vivid illustration, we witness a brutal clash between warriors on both sides. The scene is filled with chaos and violence; swords are raised high, arrows pierce through flesh, and blood stains the ground. Horses charge forward while soldiers fight fiercely wearing intricate headdresses adorned with feathers. The image also highlights elements of cruelty and death. Some unfortunate individuals hang lifelessly from ropes while others lie motionless on the battlefield. Amidst all this turmoil, birds soar above, adding an eerie touch to an already tense atmosphere. This artwork not only provides us with a glimpse into historical events but also serves as a reminder of colonization's impact on indigenous cultures. It portrays a significant moment in time when two civilizations clashed for power and dominance. With its vibrant colors and detailed engravings, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Mexico's rich history while contemplating themes such as conflict, bravery, and cultural exchange.
