EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and mesmerizing Aztec solar calendar chart. The drawing, taken from the Codex Florentino compiled by Bernardo de Sahagun in c1540, transports us back to ancient Mexico. The circular design of the chart represents the sun, a central figure in Aztec cosmology and religion. The attention to detail is remarkable as each symbol and glyph within the chart holds significant meaning. This visual representation of timekeeping was crucial for the Aztecs' agricultural practices and religious ceremonies. It served as a guide to determine auspicious dates for planting crops or conducting rituals. The fusion of Spanish influence with indigenous artistry is evident in this piece. The text accompanying the chart combines both Spanish and native languages, showcasing a harmonious blend of cultures during this period of Latin American history. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into Mesoamerica's rich heritage - a testament to its vibrant civilization that thrived centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with past civilizations and their profound knowledge about celestial bodies. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully captured this historical artifact from their Carousel Collection, allowing us to appreciate its beauty while preserving its cultural significance for generations to come.
