The Conquest of Mexico: Siege of Tenochtitlán is an oil painting made by an unknown artist, probably during the second half of the seventeenth century in Spain. Today this painting, along with the other seven pieces in the Conquest of Mexico series, is part of the Library of Congress' collection in Washington, DC. It was painted while Spain was under King Charles II's reign, close to 150 years after the event actually occurred. 

The 2000 DreamWorks Animation movie The Road to El Dorado Directed by Bibo Bergeron, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and Don Paul also takes place during the Spanish invasion of Meso-America. It tells the Story of two Spaniard men that found themselves on Hernán Cortés’s ship that was heading to America. The two of them get to Tenochtilán where they are thought to be gods. They decide to pretend that is true and with the help of a native woman, they start collecting gold as offerings and plan to get back to Spain, now as rich men.

The piece Mapa for Malinche and Our Stolen Sisters by contemporary artist Sandy Rodriguez directly converses with the other works as it also has the colonization of Meso-America and South of North America, but in this piece, the perspective is shifted. The focus is on how the Indigenous people were affected by the arrival of Hernan Cortez, using the Mexica woman Malinche’s life story as the starting point to it.
