EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Mayan history, a Late Classic period lintel dating back to 600-900 AD. The stone carving, located in Bonampak, Chiapas State, Mexico, is one of three lintels that narrate the site's historic chronology. In intricate detail, it depicts the triumphant King Chan Muan capturing an enemy by his hair before delivering a fatal blow with his spear. The craftsmanship and artistry evident in this relief carving are truly awe-inspiring. Every stroke and chiseled hieroglyph tells a story of victory and conflict within Mesoamerican society. The vibrant colors painted on the stone further enhance its visual impact. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are transported to an era where battles were fought and kings asserted their dominance over their enemies. It serves as a reminder of the fierce clashes that shaped ancient civilizations in the Western Hemisphere. Jean Pierre Courau's expert photography captures every nuance of this bas-relief masterpiece. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only the historical significance but also the artistic brilliance behind this pre-Columbian work. This print is more than just an image; it is a window into another world—a testament to human creativity and resilience throughout time.
