Jose Guadalupe Posada: The Artist Behind the Prints Emiliano Zapata leaning on his gun, captured in a captivating etching made of zinc around 1911. This is just one of the many remarkable works by Jose Guadalupe Posada, an artist known for his drawings and prints. One of his most famous creations is a double murder scene titled "Puente de los Gallos. " It tells a chilling tale of betrayal and revenge through intricate details and haunting imagery. Posada's talent also extended to capturing everyday life in Mexico. In "La Verbena de Belen o Una Fiesta Pastoril, " he created a broadsheet that relates the execution of Dionisio Silverio, a notorious murderer facing a firing squad. The print serves as both news and entertainment for the masses. But not all of Posada's work was dark or macabre. He also had a lighter side, as seen in another broadsheet depicting a man standing outside his lover's window serenading her with song. In yet another broadsheet, Posada delves into traditional forms like zarzuela with "Chin-Chun-Chan, " featuring a great calavera (skull) character that adds humor to the narrative. Posada didn't shy away from addressing societal issues either. His broadsheets often depicted fearsome kidnappers snatching children from fields or horse carriages, reflecting the anxieties prevalent during those times. Religion played an important role in Posada's artistry too. A notable example is his portrayal of the Virgin Guadalupe flanked by angels—a powerful image that resonated deeply with Mexican culture and spirituality. He even ventured into storytelling through prints like "San Cristobal de las Casas, " where he narrates about miracles happening amidst crowds gathered at this sacred place. News stories were not exempt from being transformed into art by Posada either.
