Anonymous, 17th century

The conquest of Mexico - The battle of Otumba (1521). Spanisch School, 2nd half 17th CE. After the defeat of the Spaniards during the la noche triste, Cortes marched the survivors away from the city in the direction of Tlazcala. During this flight from Tenochtitlan, Cortes took his men through the valley of Otumba. Here Cuitlahuac, the new Mexican leader of the Aztec empire and a brother of Moctezuma II, mounted a major battle against the invaders. Oil on canvas; 120 x 200 cm (48 x 78 in.). This scene is considered to be part of the earliest of three complete cycles of paintings of the Conquest.
