EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Tome 3 fol. 134, A Banquet, from Teatro de la Nueva Espana" takes us back to the late 18th century in Mexico. Painted by Diego Garcia Panes y Avellan, a Spanish military engineer turned artist, this watercolor on paper masterpiece showcases a vibrant scene of a grand banquet. In this image, we are transported to an opulent feast where guests indulge in sumptuous delicacies while being attended to by servants. The central figures at the table appear to be native Central Americans or Aztecs, adorned in traditional attire and jewelry. Their presence adds an intriguing layer of cultural significance and historical context. Diego Garcia Panes was not only an artist but also an author who meticulously documented pre-conquest Mexican history through his unpublished work called Teatro de la Nueva Espana (Theatre of New Spain). This painting is just one glimpse into his vast collection. Through this artwork, we get a glimpse into the rich culinary traditions and customs of Mesoamerica during the pre-Columbian era. It serves as a visual testament to the diverse cultures that thrived in Mexico before European colonization. Preserved within the Biblioteca Nacional de Mexico (National Library of Mexico), this historical gem offers us a window into the past - reminding us of our connection with ancient civilizations and their love for food and celebration.
