EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable fresco painting from Mexico's Ixmiquilpan region. The artwork, dating back to the mid-16th century, depicts a fanciful battle scene that transports viewers into the world of Aztec warriors and their encounters with European influences. In this particular segment of the fresco, an Aztec warrior fearlessly engages in combat with a peculiar adversary - a horse with a human head. With hands firmly gripping weapons and sandaled feet planted on the ground, the warrior valiantly confronts this chimera-like creature. The fresco is located within the Church of San Miguel Arcangel y Caritas Ixmiquilpan, situated in Hidalgo, Mexico. Its colonial design and interior are adorned with various murals that reflect both Mesoamerican and European influences prevalent during New Spain's era. This mesmerizing piece serves as a testament to Latin America's rich cultural heritage and its fusion of indigenous traditions with those brought by Spanish colonizers. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Mexico's vibrant history while marveling at the artistic prowess displayed through intricate details such as arrows, shields, bows, and more. As part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection curated by Bradley Smith, this print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate this unique blend of styles found within Mexican artistry.
