Totonac Civilization, 1950, National Palace, Mexico City
This painting by Diego Rivera is of two Totonac kingdoms coming together. It is showing one of the kings giving the other some kind of staff. As if the group on the left is swearing they're loyalty to the king on the right. Meanwhile in the background there is a celebration, People are dancing.
This makes me think of the enormous labor this men had to go through to build such a great civilization, and such great buildings. What pride they must of felt to build there own temples and homes. What intelagance they must of had to build everything symmetrical and with perfect measurements. It also makes me think of how much we have come from those times of everything done by hand.
