EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a facsimile copy of the codex Borbonicus, offering a mesmerizing glimpse into Aztec culture and mythology. The detail depicted in this vellum artwork focuses on two prominent deities: Tlazolteotl and Tezcatlipoca. Tlazolteotl, known as the goddess of spiritual uncleanliness and guilty pleasures, is beautifully portrayed alongside Tezcatlipoca, who represents the night, the moon, and the forces of evil and destruction. The intricate glyphs of days and gods intricately woven into this piece provide valuable insights into ancient Aztec beliefs. This particular reproduction originates from a private collection but pays homage to its original home at Bibliotheque de l'Assemblee Nationale in Palais Bourbon. The image captures Tlazolteotl giving birth in pictogram form while surrounded by symbolic elements such as vultures and winged birds. Its vibrant colors bring life to every stroke made by Jean Pierre Courau's skilled hand. This remarkable photograph transports us back in time to experience an era rich with cultural significance. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations when it comes to preserving history for future generations to appreciate.
