This is the ceiling of the mission church at Tecamachalco, Mexico. It was painted by Juan Gerson, a 16th c. Amerindian. Each one is prepared on papel de amate, or fig bark paper. The colors, the illustration are marvelous. My favorite is the Noah's ark.
I will post more info on this later...Saturday, May 19, 2007
