EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MEXICO: SPANISH CONQUEST" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases the clash between two worlds, as an Aztec warrior valiantly defends his island against a Spanish conquistador on the left side of the frame. The intensity of their battle is palpable, with both men armed and ready for combat. Above them, we witness another scene unfolding - a Spanish priest baptizing an infant. This juxtaposition highlights not only the physical conflict but also the clash of cultures and beliefs during this tumultuous time in Latin America's history. The drawing itself is derived from the Codex Telleriano-Remensis, created around 1540. Its intricate details and hieroglyphic symbols provide us with valuable insights into Mesoamerican culture and traditions. As we delve deeper into this montage, it becomes evident that this image represents more than just a battle; it symbolizes resistance, resilience, and cultural identity. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by native peoples during European colonization in Mexico. Bradley Smith's artwork captures these historical events with great skill and sensitivity. Through his work, he invites us to reflect on our shared past while honoring those who fought fiercely to protect their land and way of life.
