EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving of Bernal Diaz del Castillo, a prominent figure in Spanish history. Born around 1492 and passing away in 1584, Diaz del Castillo was a Spanish conquistador who played a significant role in the conquest of Mexico under the leadership of Hernan Cortes. The engraving, created by an anonymous Spanish artist from the 16th century, beautifully captures Diaz del Castillo's likeness. The writer is portrayed as a distinguished gentleman with a full beard and wearing an elegant ruff collar—a symbol of status during that era. Diaz del Castillo is best known for his remarkable eyewitness account titled "Verdadera Historia de la Conquista de Nueva Espana" (True History of the Conquest of New Spain). This historical document provides invaluable insights into the events surrounding the conquest and serves as one of the primary sources for understanding this pivotal period in Mexican history. Displayed here within a private collection, this print offers viewers a glimpse into both artistry and history. It allows us to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship behind this engraving but also reminds us of Diaz del Castillo's enduring legacy as an explorer and chronicler. With its timeless appeal, this image stands as a testament to human curiosity, courage, and our ongoing quest to understand our past.
