EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant moment in Aztec history, as four priests lead their people towards the promised land bestowed upon them by the revered god Huitzilopochtli. The image is derived from a page of the Migration Scroll found within the esteemed Codex Boturini, dating back to the 16th century. In this mesmerizing depiction, we witness the first priest carrying an image of Huitzilopochtli himself, symbolizing his divine guidance and protection throughout their journey. As they march forward with unwavering determination, these Aztecs are filled with hope and faith in their deity's promise. The intricate drawing beautifully captures not only the religious significance but also the rich folklore and cultural heritage of Mesoamerica. It serves as a testament to Latin America's indigenous roots and pays homage to its native peoples.
