EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving of Teoyamiqui, the Mexican Goddess of Death. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this artwork is a testament to the fascination with primitive religions during that era. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in G. T. Battany's book "Primitive Religions" published by Ward Lock in 1891. Teoyamiqui, with her enigmatic presence, represents a non-Christian deity from Mexico's rich cultural heritage. This depiction offers a glimpse into ancient beliefs and rituals that were considered uncivilized or comparative to Western standards at the time. The intricate details captured in this engraving highlight the skill and artistry of its creator. From her ornate headdress adorned with feathers to her solemn expression, every element evokes a sense of reverence for death as an integral part of life. As we contemplate this powerful image, it prompts us to reflect on different nations, religions, and people throughout history who have embraced diverse spiritual practices. Teoyamiqui serves as a reminder that there are countless ways to perceive and understand divinity beyond mainstream ideologies. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through their Fine Art Finder platform, allowing us to appreciate its beauty while also acknowledging its historical significance within Mexican religious traditions.
