Model for the Founding of Villa de LeyvaLuis Alberto Acuña
This charcoal mural sketch (1950s) by Luis Alberto Acuña portrays the 1572 Spanish founding of Villa de Leyva. A conquistador marks the territory with his sword as a friar proclaims royal authority, while indigenous figures witness the act under duress. Below, a suited armor figure and tapestries reinforce the colonial legacy that reshaped native life and land.
