EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of the renowned work "Cronica de la Nueva Espana" by Francisco Lopez de Gomara, an influential chronicler of his time. Published in 1554, this edition holds immense historical significance as it vividly depicts the conquest of Mexico by the intrepid Hernan Cortes. The cover itself is a visual masterpiece, adorned with intricate details and vibrant colors that transport us back to 16th century Barcelona. The rich hues evoke a sense of grandeur and adventure, perfectly capturing the essence of Spain's colonial era. Santiago Ortega's artistic prowess shines through every brushstroke, breathing life into this literary treasure. As we gaze upon this vertical composition housed within the esteemed library of the University, we are reminded of its enduring value as a piece of literature. This chronicle serves not only as a testament to Gomara's meticulous research but also as an invaluable resource for scholars seeking insights into Mexico's complex history. While appreciating this photograph, let us acknowledge its cultural importance rather than any commercial implications it may hold. It stands as a testament to human curiosity and our relentless pursuit for knowledge about our past.
