EDITORS COMMENTS
The hand-coloured engraving titled "Cortes at the feet of Martin de Valencia" captures a significant moment in history. The artwork depicts the arrival of Franciscan missionary Martin de Valencia, who is being received at the gates of Mexico City by Hernan Cortes, his captains, and Aztec chiefs on May 13,1524. This ceremonial reception symbolizes the convergence of two worlds - that of the indigenous people and the Spanish colonists. It showcases both political and religious leaders coming together to establish a new order in Central America during the 16th century. The image portrays Cortes and his men kneeling before Martin de Valencia as a sign of respect for his role as an evangelist and clergyman. This gesture highlights not only their recognition of Christianity but also their willingness to embrace it. The print offers us a glimpse into this pivotal moment in history when European powers were expanding their influence across Latin America. It serves as a reminder of how religion played a crucial role in shaping colonial politics and society during this time. Overall, this hand-coloured engraving provides valuable insight into the complex dynamics between conquistadors, missionaries, native peoples, and religion in Mesoamerica during the early stages of European colonization.
