EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mural fragment of an allegorical quetzal, dating back to the Early Classic period (200-600 AD). Created by Teotihuacan, this stunning artwork measures 81.3x101x10 cm and is currently housed in the Museo Amparo in Puebla, Mexico. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this piece are truly mesmerizing. The stylized representation of the quetzal bird, known for its mythical significance in Mesoamerican culture, adds an air of mystique to the composition. With its anthropomorphic features and symbolic elements such as feathers and talons, this mural fragment exudes a sense of sacredness. The artist's skillful use of polychrome paints brings life to every feather and plant depicted on the wall painting. The bright hues create a visually striking contrast against the background, making it impossible to look away from this masterpiece. As we admire this ancient artwork, we can't help but marvel at how it has withstood the test of time. Its preservation allows us to connect with Mexican history and appreciate the rich cultural heritage that surrounds us. Jean Pierre Courau's expert photography captures every nuance of this remarkable piece. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the beauty and symbolism embedded within these ancient murals.
