"The Conquest of Mexico: Hernando Cortes 1485-1547 Orders the Destruction of the Ships and Meets with the Ambassadors of Montezuma 1466-1520 in 1520" is a historical painting by Miguel and Juan Gonzalez, artists about whom little is known. The artwork depicts a pivotal moment in the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, led by the conquistador Hernando Cortés. The scene captures two significant events: Cortés's strategic decision to scuttle his own fleet to prevent any retreat by his men and his initial diplomatic encounter with emissaries from the Aztec ruler Montezuma II.

The painting is a visual representation of the dramatic and consequential actions taken by Cortés in 1520, which set the stage for the eventual fall of the Aztec Empire. By ordering the destruction of his ships, Cortés ensured the commitment of his forces to the conquest, as they were left with no means of escape. The meeting with Montezuma's ambassadors highlights the complex interplay of power, diplomacy, and cultural exchange that characterized the early interactions between the Spanish conquistadors and the indigenous civilizations of the Americas.

While the painting itself is a rich source for understanding the European perspective of these historical events, the lack of comprehensive information about the artists Miguel and Juan Gonzalez and the provenance of the work limits the ability to provide a full scholarly interpretation. The painting's historical significance, however, lies in its artistic contribution to the narrative of the conquest and the enduring legacy of these events in shaping the history of the New World.
