EDITORS COMMENTS
This enigmatic tableau, titled "Conquest of Mexico," depicts a pivotal moment in the annals of history: the encounter between the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes and the Cacique Gordo of Zempoala in 1519. The scene unfolds in the grandeur of the 17th century, as evidenced by the ornate decor and the opulent attire of the figures. Cortes, dressed in full armor, stands tall and confident, extending his hand in a gesture of peace and diplomacy. The Cacique Gordo, a portly, well-fed indigenous leader, welcomes Cortes with a warm smile and a gesture of respect. Surrounding them are a group of indigenous men, some bearing gifts and others observing the scene with curiosity. This anonymous work of art, created between 1676 and 1700, is now housed in the Museum of America in Madrid, Spain. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the complexities of the early colonial period, when European explorers first made contact with the indigenous peoples of the Americas. The intricate details of the table, from the nacre inlay to the meticulously painted figures, attest to the skill and artistry of its creator. The table also serves as a reminder of the profound impact of the Spanish conquest on Mexico and its people. Cortes' embassy to the Cacique Gordo marked the beginning of a long and tumultuous relationship between the Spanish and the Mexicans, one that would shape the course of history for centuries to come. The table's depiction of this moment, frozen in time, invites us to reflect on the complexities of the colonial encounter and the enduring legacy of the conquest of Mexico.
