This publication discusses various iconographic representations of Huitzilopochtli, the patron god of the Aztecs and their capital city, in both Mexico and Europe. Weaving various preconquest and postconquest sources, this book deftly analyzes representations in native contexts and explores how European ideas of Aztec culture later influenced Aztec and mestizo representations of self and deity alike. A great contribution to colonial studies, this publication traces Huitzilopochtli worship, European conquest of the Aztec Empire, and their inseparable effects on each other.
