This one is for all you art aficionados:
On Saturday we visited (among other things) the Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso. It began as a Jesuit Boarding School and was later turned into a National Preparatory School. In the 1920s, the Mexican government commissioned artists to paint murals focusing on Mexican history and politics. The Colegio was one of the first buildings to be painted during the Mexican Muralism movement.
Views of the Colegio and courtyard:
Look closely at the mural covering the walls on all three levels:
El desembarco de los espanoles y la cruz plantada en tierras nuevas by Ramon Alva de la Canal:
Alegoria de la Virgen de Guadalupe by Fermin Revueltas:
Maternidad by Jose Clemente Orozco
Destruccion del Viejo Orden by Jose Clemente Orozco:
La trinchera by Jose Clemente Orozco
La huelga -- Jose Clemente Orozco
La trinidad revolucionario by Jose Clemente Orozco
El banquete de los ricos by Jose Clemente Orozco

Los aristocratas by Jose Clemente Orozco
