Quetzalcoatl
25" x 35" oils on canvas |
| Quetzalcoatl as the Lord of the Dawn, the morning star, brought humans the tools and skills of civilization. Thus, he is depicted as offering us the world. While an important figure in myths throughout Central America and Mexico, he is shown against the facade of the Nunnery at the post-classic Maya city of Uxmal. |
