EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of a snake sculpture perched on Templo Mayor, dating back to the Late Post Classic period. Crafted from stone and stucco by the skilled hands of Aztec artisans, this remarkable piece stands as a testament to their artistic prowess. Templo Mayor, once an iconic temple in the heart of Tenochtitlan, served as a sacred site for religious ceremonies and rituals. The snake sculpture itself is a symbol deeply rooted in Mesoamerican culture, representing both fertility and wisdom. The image showcases the intricate details of the serpent's form against the backdrop of ancient steps and stairs leading up to Templo Mayor. Its presence evokes a sense of awe and reverence for Mexico's rich pre-Columbian history. As we delve into this archaeological marvel through Jean Pierre Courau's lens, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur that once graced these hallowed grounds. This photograph serves as a reminder of our connection to past civilizations and their profound contributions to art and spirituality. With its vibrant colors and expert composition, this print not only preserves an important piece of Mexican heritage but also invites us to appreciate the beauty found within ancient ruins.
