EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a tracing of a mural painting from the Upper Temple of the Jaguars in Chichen Itza, Mexico. Created by Adela Breton, this artwork is now housed in the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK. The mural depicts a vibrant scene from ancient Mayan civilization. The third strip of the painting captures an exhilarating victory dance, showcasing the energy and spirit of these ancient people. As we gaze at this section, we can almost feel their excitement and celebration. At the bottom of the mural, we see a fascinating depiction of the Sun in its disc being captured. This celestial element adds a touch of mysticism to the artwork, reminding us that these ancient cultures had deep connections with nature and believed in cosmic forces. Intriguingly, within this scene lies a temporary camp made up of grass huts. This detail offers us insight into how daily life was structured during that time period – simple yet functional dwellings set up for various purposes. Breton's meticulous sketching technique combined with watercolor and bodycolor bring out every intricate detail on this tracing. Through her artistry, she has preserved an important piece of Mexican history for generations to come. As we admire this photograph print from Fine Art Finder, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance as it transports us back to an era long gone but still etched within our collective memory.
