Description
The visual memory of the conquest of Mexico, articulated by the Tlaxcalan nobility in the 16th century, unfolds in canvases merging pictorial legacies. These records, conceived as testimonies of a crucial alliance, legitimize Tlaxcala's role in shaping the new viceregal order. In them, the indigenous perspective on the viceroyalty's foundational events is affirmed, claiming a central place in history. Beyond their original geography, these visual narratives document expeditions that extended Hispanic influence across vast territories of Central America.
