EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "CORTES & MONTEZUMA, 1519" takes us back to a significant historical moment in the early days of Mexico. The image showcases Dona Marina at the center, serving as an interpreter during a crucial meeting between Montezuma II and Hernan Cortes in Tenochtitlan, November 1519. The Aztec drawing from the Codex Florentino, created around c1540, beautifully captures this pivotal encounter. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to a time when two worlds collided – that of the indigenous people and the Spanish conquistadors. Intriguingly depicted are Montezuma II on the right side of the frame and Hernan Cortes on the left. Their contrasting attire symbolizes their distinct cultures and positions of power. The emperor is adorned with regal clothing while holding a spear, signifying his authority over his empire. In contrast, Cortes stands tall in his conquistador armor – an emblem of European dominance. At this juncture in history, Doña Marina's role as an interpreter was critical for communication between these two vastly different civilizations. Her presence at this meeting signifies her importance as a bridge between native knowledge and Spanish conquest. This mesmerizing artwork not only offers us glimpses into ancient Mesoamerican culture but also serves as a reminder of how history has shaped our present-day Latin American society. It is through such visual representations that we can appreciate both our
