EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a copy of the renowned statue of Chac-Mool from Chichen-Itza, Yucatan. Crafted between 987 and 1185 BC, this limestone masterpiece is attributed to the Mexican School and can be found in Cancun, Quintana Roo State, Mexico. The statue's stomach serves as a sacrificial altar, adding an intriguing element to its already mesmerizing presence. The reclining figure represents Chac-Mool, the revered rain god and deity in Mesoamerican culture. Its placement on a beach against the backdrop of the coastline creates a striking contrast between ancient civilization and nature's beauty. As waves gently crash onto the shore, it symbolizes the connection between maritime elements and meteorology. The Mayan influence is evident in every detail of this sculpture; from its intricate craftsmanship to its symbolic representation of rain and climate control. This photograph not only captures an artistic marvel but also invites contemplation about humanity's relationship with natural forces. Thanks to Ken Welsh's expert lensmanship, we are able to appreciate this pre-Columbian treasure without commercial distractions or limitations. It serves as a reminder that art transcends time and space while offering insights into ancient civilizations' beliefs and practices.
