| description | The discovery of the ancient Maya city of Palenque (stone houses) in mid-XVIII century within the Chiapaneca forest, stated a signiicant fact in the context of the enlightened debate which will be developed in Spain and the American kingdoms and viceroyships, especially New Spain. Two critical aspects of the debate will be considered in this paper. The irst issue relates to the origin and authorship of these archaeological remains,based on two assumptions: the participation of overseas human groups in their building or inluence, or the work of indigenous communities different to those existing in the XVIII century. These groups were able to create works of extraordinary technical and ornamental intricacy. The second issue deals with the role of the creation of images by the members of the expedition and the artists who accompanied them, as well as the consequences of the process of knowledge about the American pre-Hispanicworld and its dissemination. |

The discovery of the ancient Maya city of Palenque (stone houses) in mid-XVIII century within the Chiapaneca forest, stated a signiicant fact in the context of the enlightened debate which will be developed in Spain and the American kingdoms and viceroyships, especially New Spain. Two critical aspects of the debate will be considered in this paper. The irst issue relates to the origin and authorship of these archaeological remains,based on two assumptions: the participation of overseas human groups in their building or inluence, or the work of indigenous communities different to those existing in the XVIII century. These groups were able to create works of extraordinary technical and ornamental intricacy. The second issue deals with the role of the creation of images by the members of the expedition and the artists who accompanied them, as well as the consequences of the process of knowledge about the American pre-Hispanicworld and its dissemination. El “descubrimiento” de la antigua ciudad maya de Palenque (Casas de Piedra) a mediados del siglo XVIII, en el interior de la selva iapaneca, supuso un hecho significativo en el contexto del debate ilustrado que se va a dar, tanto en la España, como en los reinos y virreinatos americanos, en particular, en el caso de la Nueva España. Debate que tuvo como centro álgido de discusión dos aspectos que tratamos en este texto. El primero, hace relación al origen y autoría de estos restos arqueológicos, en base a dos supuestos: la participación de grupos humanos ultramarinos en su construcción o influencia, o la labor de unos determinados indígenas, distintos a los existentes en el siglo VIII,capaces de hacer obras de una extraordinaria complejidad técnica y ornamental. El segundo aspecto que tratamos tiene que ver con el papel que va a jugar la creación de imágenes, por parte de los expedicionarios y dibujantes que los acompañan, y sus consecuencias, que llegan hasta nuestros días, en el proceso de conocimiento y divulgación del mundo prehispánico americano. La «découverte» au milieu du XVIIIe siècle, à l’intérieur de la forêt du Chiapas, de l’ancienne cité maya de Palenque (des Maisons de Pierre), fût un évènement important dans le contexte du débat des Lumières tant en Espagne que dans lesroyaumes et vice-royautés d’Amérique, particulièrement en Nouvelle Espagne. Un débat focalisé sur deux aspects, dont nous nous occuperons dans ce texte. Le premier, l’origine et les auteurs de ces ruines archéologiques, où l’ont trouve deuxhypothèses: que des groupes humains d’outre-mer auraient participé à sa construction ou qu’ils auraient eu une certaine inluence, que dans ce travail seraient intervenus certains indigènes, distincts de ceux existants au XVIIIe siècle, et capables de faire des oeuvres d’une complexité technique et ornementale extraordinaire. Le deuxième aspect que nous traiterons renvoie au rôle joué par la création d’images de la part des expéditionnaires et des dessinateurs qui les accompagnaient, et leurs conséquences, jusqu’à nos jours, dans le processus de connaissance et divulgation du monde préhispanique américain.
