EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "EXPL2A-00211 (Father Juan de Padilla finds the cross set by Coronado, 1540s)" takes us back in time to the 16th century and offers a glimpse into the rich history of the American West. This hand-colored halftone reproduction of a 19th-century illustration transports us to an era when exploration and conquest shaped the destiny of North America. In this scene, we witness Father Juan de Padilla, a Franciscan missionary and priest, on horseback as he stumbles upon a significant discovery - a cross left behind by Francisco de Coronado during his expedition in the 1540s. The image beautifully captures both the vastness of untouched landscapes and the collision between European colonizers and Native American cultures. Padilla's encounter with this symbol holds great significance as it represents not only Spain's claim over new territories but also their attempt to spread Roman Catholicism across these lands. As we observe this moment frozen in time, we are reminded of how religion played an integral role in shaping early colonial endeavors. This vintage artwork allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical importance. It serves as a reminder that beneath our modern cities lie layers upon layers of stories waiting to be uncovered – stories that shed light on our past, shape our present, and guide our future understanding of North America's complex tapestry.
