EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Old Mesilla Plaza, ca. 1885-1886" by Leon Trousset takes us back to a bygone era in the heart of America. The image showcases the rustic charm and simplicity of life during the late 19th century in Old Mesilla Plaza, New Mexico. The vibrant colors and meticulous details bring this historical moment to life. In the foreground, a bullock cart trundles along El Camino Real, symbolizing the importance of road transport during that time. A donkey-drawn cart follows closely behind, adding an element of rural authenticity to the scene. Amidst this picturesque landscape stands a quaint church, representing both Christianity's influence on society and its significance as a religious hub for local residents. Surrounding it are traditional adobe houses that reflect Mexican architectural heritage blended with American regionalism. Leon Trousset's artistic prowess shines through his use of oil on canvas technique, capturing every nuance with precision and finesse. This masterpiece is not just an ordinary painting; it is a testament to Trousset's skillful portrayal of everyday life in this scientific institution known as Old Mesilla Plaza. As we gaze upon this artwork from centuries ago at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, we can't help but feel transported back in time – witnessing history unfold before our eyes through Trousset's lens. It serves as a gentle reminder of how far we have come while cherishing our rich cultural roots deeply embedded within these landscapes.
