Source: WTL photographs© (2009) on site at the Palacio de Cortés on the Zócalo in Cuernavaca, México. Comments: Hernán Cortés had his fortress palace--since 1974 the Museo Regional Cuauhnáhuac--built sometime between 1524 and 1530 (other sources say the dates are 1526 to 1528); and in 1929-1930 Diego Rivera painted this series of monographic murals about events in Cuernavaca from the Spanish conquest to the Mexican Revolution. The murals appear in various spaces on the second-floor back gallery (la galería posterior o logia oriente de la primera planta). They are arranged in chronological order in the gallery from right to left; hence, #1 begins the series, but realize that it is placed to the right of #2, and so on. For a supplementary description of the murals, see: => Diego Rivera #22. |
