Description
16th-century Mesoamerican pictorial tradition narrates complex cultural encounters in New Spain's central highlands. From a Tlaxcalan perspective, it unfolds a visual chronicle of alliances and confrontations that reshaped the continent. These representations, rich in symbolism and ethnographic detail, forged a distinct historical memory against emerging power. Within them endures the voice of a people who, through color and form, inscribed their role in the genesis of a new era.
