EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "AZTEC PRIESTS, c1325" takes us back in time to the ancient civilization of the Aztecs. Led by their revered god, Huitzilopochtli, a group of Aztec priests embarks on a momentous journey. In this mesmerizing scene, they have stumbled upon an extraordinary sight - an eagle perched atop a cactus while devouring a serpent. Legend has it that this awe-inspiring image was a divine sign from Huitzilopochtli himself. It is said that upon witnessing this miraculous spectacle, the priests made a profound decision: to establish Tenochtitlan as the capital city of the mighty Aztec nation. The intricate details and vibrant colors captured in this ancient drawing bring to life the rich folklore and early history of Mesoamerica. The robes worn by these men exude wisdom and reverence for their deity as they stand before this sacred symbol. This remarkable artwork not only showcases the artistic prowess of pre-Columbian Mexico but also serves as a reminder of the deep spiritual connection between humans and nature in Latin American cultures. As we gaze at this print, we are transported back in time to witness one pivotal moment that shaped an entire civilization. It invites us to ponder on how faith and belief can inspire great feats and lay foundations for magnificent cities like Tenochtitlan – forever etching its place in history.
