Image: Diego Rivera mural: Sueño de una tarde dominical en la Alameda / Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in the Alameda Park (1947-1948). For an enlargement of the scene around the man on the horse, see: => Sueño Mural G. For detail of the extreme right side, see: => Sueño Mural H.
Comments: Approximately the right one-third of the mural, with overlapping on the left side from the previous page. Among the identifiable figures on this the right side of the full mural is the Revolutionary hero Emiliano Zapata riding the rearing horse. The man in the black suit holding a top hat in the upper right is Francisco I. Madero, the short-lived elected president of Mexico at the beginning of the Mexican Revolution. Just below him is a smaller figure with a mustache in a light green jacket is Francisco (Pancho) Villa, the Revolutionary leader of the armies of northern Mexico.
Humanities topic: This right segment of the mural constitutes Rivera's depiction of Mexico from Porfirio Díaz through the Mexican Revolutionary period up until the 1940s. Keeping in mind the background against which the figures are placed, overall, what is Rivera saying about this period of Mexican history and society?
