EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing mural fragment from the Early Classic period, specifically between 200-600 AD. Created by the talented Teotihuacan artist, this piece measures an impressive 84x106 cm and is currently housed in the Museo Amparo in Puebla, Mexico. The focal point of this artwork is a beautifully stylized quetzal bird accompanied by a singing virgula. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring life to this mythical creature, which holds great significance in Mesoamerican culture. With its anthropomorphic features and symbolic representation as a sacred bird, the quetzal exudes an air of mystique and reverence. The use of polychrome paint on stucco adds depth and richness to the overall composition. Each feather appears meticulously rendered, showcasing the artist's skillful technique. The combination of bright hues creates a visually stunning display that captures one's attention instantly. As we gaze upon this mural fragment, we are transported back in time to ancient Mexico. It serves as a reminder of the rich pre-Columbian heritage that continues to inspire awe today. This extraordinary artwork not only celebrates nature but also pays homage to cultural beliefs surrounding song and music. Jean Pierre Courau has masterfully captured every detail with his photography skills, allowing us to appreciate this remarkable piece even if we cannot witness it firsthand at Museo Amparo.
