Model for the Founding of Villa de LeyvaLuis Alberto Acuña
This charcoal mural sketch (1950s) by Luis Alberto Acuña dramatizes the Spanish colonial ceremony of foundation. A conquistador plants his sword while a cleric reads the royal decree aloud. The indigenous figures observe with tension or resignation. Acuña captures the imbalance of power, spiritual imposition, and bureaucratic theater that marked the colonial encounter.
