          Mountains clad with fragrant pinon and juniper forests; sagebrush deserts spangled with wildflowers; adobe houses in warm earthen tones; the western plains unfurling in a timeless sweep beneath a sky of crystalline blue-so many artists have tried to capture the beauteous essence of this quintessentially Southwestern state.

          In 1540 Francisco Vasquez de Coronado explores New Mexico. The beginning of Spanish settlement in 1598 ushered in a 300-year period during which New Mexico was a colony-first of Spain and later of Mexico. Well before the Pilgrims set sail for New England, Spanish settlers were traveling north along the Rio Grande into New Mexico’s north central region, establishing missions and ranches along the way. In 1610 they founded the town of Santa Fe-the oldest capital city in the United States and the second-oldest permanent settlement (after St. Augustine, Florida). New Mexico existed as a distant outpost, isolated from the rest of Spain’s holdings in the New World. In 1680 Pueblo Indians force Spanish 188 settlers to flee to Mexico. In 1692-96 New Mexico is reconquered by Spaniards.
