EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an Aztec priest depicted in the Codex Vaticanus 3738 (Codex Vat. Rios). The facsimile of this ancient manuscript was created by Dominican Pedro de los Rios between 1570 and 1589, and it is currently housed in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana in Vatican City. The image captures the essence of Mexican pre-Columbian culture, with the priest adorned in traditional religious attire. His intricate headdress and ceremonial robes reflect the rich symbolism embedded within Aztec rituals. This glimpse into a bygone era allows us to appreciate the spiritual significance that religion held for these indigenous people. The Spanish School from the 16th century skillfully reproduced this facsimile, ensuring its preservation for future generations to admire. Giancarlo Costa's masterful photography brings out every detail of this historical artwork, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in its beauty. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Mexico's vibrant past and its deep connection to its indigenous roots. It serves as a reminder that despite centuries of change and evolution, cultural heritage remains an integral part of our identity. This photograph transports us back to a time when Aztec priests played a crucial role in their society - guiding their people through religious ceremonies and acting as intermediaries between humans and gods. Through artistry like this, we can continue to celebrate and honor their contributions throughout history.
