EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolor illustration depicts the Reconstruction of the Templo Mayor complex in the ancient city of Mexico-Tenochtitlan, founded in 1325. The Templo Mayor, or "Great Temple," was the spiritual and political center of the Aztec Empire, which thrived in this region until its occupation by Spanish conquistadors in 1521. The complex, which includes several temples and pyramids, was dedicated to various Aztec deities, most notably Huitzilopochtli, the god of war and the sun. The intricately detailed illustration, created by the skilled hand of Lluis Bargalló, captures the grandeur and complexity of the Templo Mayor complex. The temples and pyramids are depicted in their original form before the Spanish conquest, with bright colors and intricate carvings adorning their walls. The scene is set in the daytime, with the sunlight casting long shadows and highlighting the textures of the stone structures. The Templo Mayor complex was an architectural marvel of the ancient world, and its reconstruction remains an important goal for archaeologists and historians. This illustration provides a glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the vibrant and complex culture that once flourished in this region. The illustration is a testament to the enduring power of art to preserve and celebrate the history of our world.
