EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Hernán Cortés (1485-1547), a pivotal figure in the history of the Americas as the Spanish conqueror of Mexico. The image, taken from the collections of the Americas Museum in Madrid, Spain (Autonomous Community), showcases Cortés in an upright, vertical position, dressed in the attire of a Spanish conquistador. He wears a helmet adorned with a crest and holds a sword in his right hand, exuding an air of authority and power. Born in the province of Galicia, Spain, Cortés embarked on an extraordinary journey that led him to conquer the Aztec Empire in the early 16th century. With a small group of men, he arrived in Mexico in 1519 and, through a combination of diplomacy, alliances, and military force, managed to overthrow the Aztec ruler Moctezuma II in 1521. This marked the beginning of Spanish colonial rule in the Americas. The portrait captures the essence of Cortés as a historical figure, embodying the spirit of exploration, conquest, and imperialism that characterized the European colonization of the New World. The image is a testament to the rich and complex history of the Americas and the enduring influence of the Spanish colonial legacy.
