Description
A Mesoamerican pictorial tradition unfolds in the 16th century, narrating the conquest of Mexico from the Tlaxcalan perspective. The alliance with the Spanish Crown is inscribed in a visual narrative that legitimizes Tlaxcala's place in the new viceregal order. Pre-Hispanic figures and symbols dialogue with European elements, forging a mestizo iconography that documents territorial expansion. This visual corpus, of profound historical roots, offers a singular insight into the construction of colonial memory.
