EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an imaginary recreation of the Aztec Sun Stone calendar, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Late Post Classic Period. The lithograph depicts a mesmerizing red polychrome disc adorned with intricate symbols and numbers, representing the Aztec's deep understanding of time and celestial movements. The face at the center of this remarkable artwork is believed to be Tonatiuh, the sun god in Aztec mythology. His powerful presence radiates from every line and curve, reminding us of the profound reverence that ancient civilizations held for nature and its cosmic forces. As we delve into this facsimile creation, we are transported back in time to Mesoamerica before Spanish colonization. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity and sophistication of pre-Columbian cultures like the Aztecs who developed complex systems such as their zodiac calendar. Jean Pierre Courau's meticulous engraving brings forth not only historical accuracy but also an artistic interpretation that breathes life into this iconic artifact. This image invites us to explore and appreciate one of humanity's greatest achievements in deciphering time through artistry. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this print allows us to marvel at both our collective past and present fascination with these ancient wonders. Let it serve as a reminder that even centuries later, these masterpieces continue to captivate our imagination and inspire awe for those who came before us.
