EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "AZTEC ALTAR" takes us back in time to the ancient civilization of the Aztecs. The image showcases two Aztec men, dressed in traditional attire, seated before a magnificent altar. This drawing is derived from the renowned Codex Florentino, compiled by Bernardino de Sahagun around 1540. The altar itself stands as a testament to the rich cultural and religious practices of the Aztec people. Adorned with intricate carvings and symbols, it exudes an aura of reverence and spirituality. As we gaze upon this scene, we cannot help but wonder about the significance of their worship. The men's posture suggests deep contemplation and devotion as they engage in their sacred rituals. Their cloaks reflect their status within society while also adding vibrant colors to this mesmerizing composition. Through this artwork, we are transported to Mesoamerica during Mexico's colonial period when Spanish influence intertwined with native traditions. It serves as a reminder of Latin America's diverse heritage and its profound connection with indigenous roots. "The Granger Collection" has once again curated an extraordinary piece that encapsulates history through artistry. This print invites us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of Aztec culture while honoring those who came before us on this land now known as Mexico.
