EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Antonio de Mendoza, a prominent figure in Spanish history. Born in 1490, Mendoza served as the Spanish governor and became the first viceroy of New Spain (Mexico) during the 16th century. The image captures his authoritative presence and noble demeanor. The photograph is displayed in vibrant color, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricate details of this historical figure's attire and expression. It was taken by Santiago Ortega, an unknown photographer whose work has been preserved at the Discovery Museum of America in Madrid. Mendoza's significance lies not only in his role as a ruler but also in his contributions to shaping the destiny of Mexico under Spanish colonial rule. As viceroy, he implemented policies that aimed to maintain control over the newly discovered territories while promoting economic growth and cultural exchange between Spain and its colonies. Displayed at the Museum of America in Madrid, this vertical portrait serves as a reminder of Spain's rich history and its impact on Latin America. It invites visitors to delve into a time when exploration, conquests, and colonization were defining aspects of global politics.
