From Leslie Tillet's (1915-1920) personal art collection.
The surrender of the last emperor to cortes by native painter Marcial Camilo Ayala. Spanish brigantines (wooden warships equipped with cannons) can been seen in the right background.
Dimensions listed are for the frame.
The Mexican folk artist Marcial Camilo Ayala was a Nahau from the village of San Agustin Oapan in the Rio Balsas valley located in the Mexican state of Guerrero. He began as a street artist painting amates (an indigenous Nahau tradition of painting on bark of the Jonote tree). Then in 1972, American art collector Edmund Rabkin discovered him in Taxco, and encouraged Marcial to paint more. The idea spread to his two brothers, Juan and Felix, and they became well-known artists by the late 1970s.
