Adrian Garcia Aguirre / Bonampak, Chiapas*This pictorial work hides secrets and perfect strokes.*Muralists identified with expressions of their worldview.In the Lacandona jungle, in the municipality of Ocosingo, Chiapas, are located the exceptional and most outstanding archaeological remains of the Mayan empire: Bonampak, whose fame is not only due to the beautiful architectural space, but also to the paintings that adorn its walls, with the Mayan toponym of "painted walls".This archaeological wonder was discovered in the late 1940s by chance by the explorer Giles Greville Healey and his guide, the indigenous Lacandón Chan Bor.Both were impressed by the buildings, and later with the world shocked by the murals of the temple of paintings, made up of three rooms where each one reflects different scenes.It is believed that these works were directed by the Mayan painter Och or opossum, who shaped the government of Chaan Muan II;clothing, the use of textiles, ostentatious dresses and the way they were used.Various elements of nature, nobles, warriors and dancers, and drawings with texts that reflect a kind of Mayan war party are also presented.These are, above all, paintings whose theme is the presentation of the heir to the throne who is seen carrying a child, musicians, deities and many other figures.The images painted in room two are the most relevant of the three rooms: there is a hand-to-hand fight and the presentation of the captives in a great military act, in the staging of a trial that shows the ruler Chan Muwan of Bonampak.In the center, at his feet, lying corpses that had been imprisoned rivals are exhibited, while others appear imprisoned, anguished begging for their lives.In the drawings in room two, the Mayan passion for astronomy is represented, such as constellations and other celestial bodies, with a character that would correspond to a warrior deity, star glyphs, the celestial path and a drawing of the milky way with a wide radiant border which is aligned to the axis of symmetry of the building of the paintings.Since 1949, when they were discovered, studies have been made of the representations of the murals, especially in the first chamber, where the procession of priests and nobles is represented, in which, in addition, an orchestra plays musical instruments such as wooden trumpets and drums. while the nobles chat with each other.The second room shows a war scene, with seated prisoners whose fingernails are pulled out, enemies who, according to specialists, were surely being prepared to be sacrificed.The third room shows a ceremony with dancers richly dressed, wearing masks of gods and the ruling family pricking their tongues with ki needles, the henequen, until they bleed, in one of the many types of sacrifice practiced by the Mesoamericans.The mural scenes were rediscovered by Carlos Frey and recovered by restorers by members of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), achieving a successful goal that culminated in the reconstruction of the contours of the figures on the central wall.This had to be removed with a scalpel and dental spatulas, which revealed scenes of the battle of Chaan Muan II, penultimate king of Bonampak, after defeating his enemies in the city of Sak Tzi.The archaeologists have compiled all the iconography of the murals and re-created a large archive of drawings, photographs and studies of the various analyzes with an optical microscope.This made it possible to discover the chromatic range of the Bonampak painters, in which up to 28 mixtures of pigments were found that reflect different qualities of the indigenous natural world, in which Mayan blue stands out.These frescoes are naturalistic in style with figures measuring almost a meter in height each, and due to the technique of the murals, it is known that the Bonampak painters were well acquainted with the strokes, volumes, supports, binders and natural dyes.They used lime mixed with gums extracted from trees such as the olón, the orchid and the plum tree as bases to capture the paint on the walls, in a prodigious and unparalleled work that has survived the centuries.The Baron company's campaign addresses the concept in a philosophical way, and invites you to re-evaluate these ideas to form...Mexicana workers pointed out that with this eviction they are left in a state of defenselessness and without the possibility of obtaining...He stressed that when he began his government he had foreseen a reform of the Judiciary, but he gave up trusting the ministers...Almomento.mxAll rights reserved.Mexico 2022Almomento.mxAll rights reserved.Mexico 2022Login to your account belowPlease enter your username or email address to reset your password.
