Catalogue of an exhibition organized within the framework of the celebrations for the Bicentennial of the Independence and the Centennial of the Revolution that explore how the national heroes were portrayed in art in the early 19th century. An interesting inclusion is the iconography of national heroes in relation to the sculptures of classic antiquity. The exhibition includes close to 110 pieces including sculptures, paintings, prints, photography, books, manuscripts and some magazines largely produced in the 19th Century in México and Europe.

En estas paginas se presenta una seleccion de los parrafos mas iluminados de la Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva Espana. Se trata de las descripciones mas apasionadas y asombrosas que se quedarian para siempre en la memoria del cronista. Aqui se perciben el azoro ante lo desconocido, la admiracion ante las grandezas del mundo mexica, la sentida importancia que el autor confiere a los hechos en los que participa y todo un vertigo de colores, sabores, edificios y multitudes que no parecen sino cosas de encantamiento.
