| Abstract
|
:
|
A richly illustrated account of the art and religion of the Mayas, through detailed and complete interpretations of the Maya mythology and how it inspired its artistic creations. Michael D. Coe, emeritus professor of the Yale University comments that the book is "Rich in detail and hypothesis [...] a "tour-de-force" in a well-founded and updated research and a testimony of the importance of the Museum Popol Vuh". The collection of Pre-Columbian pieces from the holdings of the museum is the staring point of the research that analyses the Maya myths on the origins of corn, the sun, the moon, the stars, war and their artistic manifestations. More than 30 years ago the pioneering research done by Michael Coe found suggesting parallels between the religious and mythological narrative of the Popol Vuh and the complex pictorial scenes in classic Maya art. Chinchilla's interpretations reinforces this conception through an updated comparative analysis between diverse narrations contained in the ancient book and some mural paintings, ceramic objects and other painted pieces.
