EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print showcases the mesmerizing Caryatid II, located in the outer chamber of the Upper Temple of the Jaguars (Temple A) at Chichen Itza, Mexico. Created by Adela Breton in 1850-1923, this artwork is housed in Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, UK. The painting beautifully captures the intricate details of this stone figure with upraised arms that serve as a support for a tabletop. The artist provides us with three different views: back, front, and side. The back view reveals an exquisite cloak adorned with yellow feathers arranged in three tiers. Caryatids hold immense significance in archaeology and Mexican culture. They symbolize strength and resilience while showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. This particular caryatid stands tall amidst its ancient surroundings, embodying both elegance and power. Breton's skillful use of watercolours brings life to every stroke on paper, allowing viewers to appreciate the fine nuances of this archaeological wonder. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back through time to witness firsthand the grandeur of Chichen Itza's architectural marvels. With its rich history and cultural importance preserved within these walls, it is no wonder that Chichen Itza continues to captivate visitors from around the world today.
