EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating glimpse into the world of Aztec entertainers, musicians, jugglers, and hunchbacks. Taken from the Florentine Codex by Bernardino de Sahagun in the 16th century, this image captures the vibrant spirit and rich cultural heritage of Mesoamerica. Intriguingly, this artwork is part of a larger historical document known as Historia General de las Cosas de Nueva Espana (General History of the Things of New Spain). Written by trilingual Nahuatl, Spanish, and Latin Aztec students under Sahagun's guidance, it offers valuable insights into Aztec society during that era. The composition itself portrays a diverse group of performers engaged in various activities. From acrobats rolling logs to skilled musicians playing traditional instruments like drums, their talents are on full display. The presence of hunchbacks adds an element of uniqueness to this scene while highlighting inclusivity within Aztec entertainment. Preserved at Biblioteca Medicea-Laurenziana in Florence, Italy; this print serves as a visual testament to the enduring legacy left behind by ancient civilizations. It reminds us that art transcends time and space while providing invaluable glimpses into our collective history. As we admire these talented individuals captured through centuries-old brushstrokes or pen strokes in this case - let us appreciate their contributions to human creativity and celebrate the diversity that has shaped our world throughout history.
