Description
English: Painting made by Mexican artist Daniel del Valle titled Moctezuma II visitando las tumbas de sus antepasados (Moctezuma II visiting the tombs of his ancestors), made in 1895 and currently located at the National Museum of Art in Mexico City, oil on canvas. The painting depicts Moctezuma II, Emperor of the Mexica Empire, visiting the engravings on the stones of the forest of Chapultepec (in modern-day Mexico City) depicting the previous Emperors. Nowadays, only Moctezuma's engraving has partially survived, the rest being destroyed during the Mexican Colonial Period.

This painting is Daniel del Valle's most notable work, through which the artist "went down in history", being made during a period in the 19th century in which Mexican artists participated in the search of the national identity through the abundant creation historical works, such as monuments, lithographs and paintings. Through this search, the pre-Hispanic past of the country was given its lost value to affirm the Mexican nationality.

This particular work was the winner of a competition held in 1895 by the National School of Fine Arts, in the Academy of San Carlos. Del Valle received the work's theme from Master José Salomé Pina: "The passage in which Moctezuma cries, in great sadness, when contemplating his portrait that the artists had carved on a rock on Chapultepec Hill."
Español: Pintura hecha por el artista mexicano Daniel del Valle titulada Moctezuma II visitando las tumbas de sus antepasados, hecha en 1895 y actualmente ubicada en el Museo Nacional de Arte en Ciudad de México, óleo sobre tela. La pintura representa a Moctezuma II, emperador del Imperio mexica, visitando los petrograbados en el bosque de Chapultepec (en la actual Ciudad de México) representando a los emperadores anteriores. Actualmente, solo ha sobrevivido parcialmente el grabado de Moctezuma, los otros siendo destruidos durante la Época colonial mexicana.

Esta pintura se trata de la obra más destacada de Daniel del Valle, con la cual el artista "pasó a la historia", hecha durante una época en el siglo XIX en la cual artistas mexicanos participaron en la búsqueda de la identidad nacional a través de la creación abundante de obras históricas, como monumentos, litografías y pinturas. Por medio de esta búsqueda, se revaloró el pasado prehispánico del país para afirmar la nacionalidad mexicana.

Esta obra en particular fue ganadora de un certamen organizado en 1895 por la Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes, en la Academia de San Carlos. Del Valle recibió el tema de la obra del maestro José Salomé Pina: "El pasaje en que Moctezuma llora, presa de una gran tristeza, al contemplar su retrato que los artífices habían labrado en un peñasco en el Cerro de Chapultepec".
