Presentations by Barbara Mundy and John Pohl

The year 2019 marked the quincentennial of Hernán Cortés's arrival in Mesoamerica, providing an impetus to explore perspectives on the Spanish conquest of Mexico and the subsequent transcultural processes that played out in New Spain's artistic production. The three-day symposium held from October 3rd through October 5th, 2019 highlighted the great cultural, historical, and artistic achievements of indigenous peoples of New Spain.

This event was in homage to the renowned Mexican scholar Miguel León-Portilla. It was organized by California State University, Los Angeles, the Art History Society of Cal State LA, and the Getty Research Institute and was made possible in part with the generous support of the Seaver Institute.
