EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the bodies of Itzquauhtzin and Montezuma being thrown out of the palace by the Spaniards during the conquest of Mexico. Created in the 16th century by an unknown Spanish artist, this miniature from the Codex of the conquest of Mexico offers a glimpse into one of the most pivotal events in Mesoamerican civilization. The image showcases both tragedy and power dynamics as it portrays two Aztec figures who played crucial roles in their society. Moctezuma II, also known as Montezuma II, was an esteemed Aztec emperor whose reign spanned from 1466 to 1520. His body lies lifeless alongside that of Itzquauhtzin, another influential figure whose identity remains shrouded in mystery. As we delve into this piece, we are transported back to a time when Spain's influence began to reshape Central America. The clash between European colonizers and indigenous civilizations is palpable here; it represents not only death but also cultural upheaval and displacement. This photograph print is derived from Bernardino de Sahagun's 'Storia degli Aztechi' manuscript, which chronicles the history of Aztecs during this tumultuous period. Preserved within Biblioteca Medicea-Laurenziana in Florence, Italy, this artwork serves as a testament to human resilience amidst colonization. Through its intricate details and historical significance, this image invites us to reflect on our shared past while acknowledging how these events have shaped our present-day understanding of North American history.
