EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Artokoloro from the Liszt Collection captures a moment of both awe and disbelief. The broadsheet depicts a story about a miracle in San Cristobal de las Casas, where an extraordinary event unfolds before the eyes of a mesmerized crowd. In the upper section, we witness people gazing up at the sky as they watch a man fall from a hot air balloon. Their expressions reveal their shock and concern for his safety. However, what truly adds intrigue to this composition is the image in the upper right corner—an apparition of Christ. This ethereal presence hovers above the chaotic scene below, symbolizing hope and divine intervention amidst uncertainty. It serves as a powerful reminder that miracles can occur even in moments of great peril. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Jose Guadalupe Posada, an influential Mexican figure known for his iconic illustrations during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His mastery shines through in every detail of this work, capturing not only human emotions but also spiritual dimensions. With its rich historical context and artistic excellence, this print invites viewers to contemplate themes such as faith, resilience, and unexpected wonders that transcend our everyday lives. It stands as a testament to Posada's enduring legacy and his ability to create thought-provoking imagery that resonates with audiences across time.
