Hernan Cortes, the Spanish conquistador of the 16th century, is a figure shrouded in both admiration and controversy. His encounters with the Aztec Empire have left an indelible mark on history. In Montezuma Declares his Allegiance to the King of Spain before Cortes (oil on canvas), we witness a pivotal moment as the Aztec Emperor acknowledges Spanish authority. The Battle of Otumba, July 7, 1520, showcases Cortes' military prowess. Amidst chaos and uncertainty, he leads his troops against formidable opposition. Hernandez Cortes emerges victorious, forever etching his name in tales of conquest. Meeting the Aztec Emperor Montezuma in 1519 was a meeting that would change history. The clash between two civilizations unfolds as cultures collide and destinies intertwine. In Cholula's Massacre of Aztec warriors and nobles by Hernan Cortes' Spanish conquistadors (engraving), we confront the brutal reality of colonization. It serves as a stark reminder that power often comes at great cost. Amidst these tumultuous events, all sense of order and discipline was lost (colour litho). As empires clashed and worlds collided, chaos reigned supreme. Cortes' expeditions were part of the great voyages of discovery (colour litho) that shaped our understanding of geography and expanded European influence across continents. Le Romance du Cortes (The Song of Cortez) captures Nantes' artistic interpretation in 1815 through furnishing fabric. Even centuries later, this conqueror continues to inspire creative expression. Engravings immortalize Hernan Cortes as they depict him during different stages: confident yet controversial; admired yet feared; relentless yet determined - each engraving capturing facets that define his legacy. Finally, The public entry of Cortez (engraving) symbolizes triumph amidst adversity.
