| Samenvatting: | "In the 16th century a native painter created an astounding cycle of paintings for the Francisco Church of Tecamachalco, in what is now the state of Puebla. The cycle illustrates the events recounted in the biblical Apocalypse of St. John, painted on ovals of traditional indigenous bark paper, known as amate. The senes dramaticallly depict people, supernaturals and surreal landscapes in vivid reds, blues and earth colors that seem to have faded little since they were painted in 1562. The photographs are by one of Mexico's renowned photographers"--Accompanying local notes. |
