EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing detail from the painting "Conching by Miguel González" (1698), housed in the Museum of America in Madrid, Spain, offers a captivating glimpse into the tumultuous encounter between the Spanish conquistadors and the Aztec Empire during the Conquest of Mexico in 1519. The painting depicts an attempt by Aztec warriors, led by the enigmatic Montezuma (1466-1520), to pull down a cross and hurl stones and arrows at the Spanish invaders. Montezuma, dressed in his regal attire, stands at the center of the scene, directing the counterattack against the Spanish army. The Spanish conquistadors, armed with arquebuses and shields, are shown in the background, firing back at the Aztecs. The contrast between the peaceful Christian symbol of the cross and the violent clash of cultures is palpable. The Aztecs, in turn, are shown worshiping their idols, which are also depicted in the painting. This painting, created during the modern age, offers a vivid and detailed account of the early stages of the Spanish conquest of Mexico. It is a poignant reminder of the complex and often violent interactions between the Old World and the New, and the profound impact that the encounter had on the course of world history. The painting's intricate details and rich colors bring the past to life, transporting us back to a time when the world was being irrevocably changed.
