EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the legendary Hernan Cortes de Monroy y Pizarro, a prominent figure in the history of Mexico. Published in 1850 as part of the "History of The Conquest of Mexico" this print captures the essence of a man who played a pivotal role in shaping the destiny of an entire nation. Hernan Cortes, also known as Marques del Valle de Oaxaca, was a Spanish conquistador whose audacious spirit led him to explore uncharted territories and discover new worlds. In this three-quarter length portrait, he exudes confidence and determination, his piercing gaze capturing both his ambition and his resilience. Clad in armor with sword at hand, Cortes symbolizes the might and power of the Spanish Empire during its conquests. His presence alone evokes images of bravery on treacherous battlefields and strategic brilliance that forever altered history. As we admire this remarkable portrayal, we are reminded not only of Cortes' individual achievements but also his significant impact on Mexican culture. This engraving serves as a testament to his legacy - one that is deeply intertwined with exploration, discovery, and ultimately the conquest of Mexico itself. Preserved within private collections for generations before being made available through Fine Art Finder's partnership with Ken Welsh Photography Studio, this historical artifact allows us to connect with an era long gone while appreciating Hernan Cortes' enduring influence on our world today.
