About this file
This document is a detailed measurement report for a series of eight paintings related to the Spanish conquest of Mexico, specifically focusing on Cortés's expeditions. The measurements were taken by a painting conservator in 2022 and include precise dimensions for each painting's height, width, and depth. The paintings cover historical events such as "The Entrance of Cortés into Tabasco," "The Arrival of Cortés at Vera Cruz," "The Meeting of Cortés and Moctézuma," "The Death of Moctézuma," "The Sad Night," "The Battle of Otumba," "The Conquest of Tenochtitlán," and "The Capture of Cuauhtémoc."
The comprehensive report provides specific measurements for each painting, including maximum height (ranging from 48" to 49"), maximum width (71 1/8" to 73 1/8"), diagonal measurements, and depth at corners and cross-bars (mostly between 1 1/8" and 1 3/8"). The paintings are remarkably consistent in size, with minor variations. The maximum out-of-square measurement is 3/4", and the maximum depth is 1 3/8". Each painting is meticulously documented with top-face and top-back diagrams showing precise measurements and cross-bar depths, providing a detailed technical record of these historical artworks.
