Description
The Tlaxcalan memory of the Conquest unfolds in a pictorial tradition that fuses Mesoamerican and European visual languages. These 16th-century historical canvases, originating from central Mexico, articulate a complex narrative of alliances and legitimization. Through their scenes, the perspective of a people who negotiated their place in the new colonial order is projected, rewriting their own history in the face of viceregal power.
