The Great City of Tenochtitlan



The Great City of Tenochtitlan painted by Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, 1945, in the National Palace in Mexico City.

Diego Rivera was an active and outspoken Communist who painted these murals (featuring the world of the Aztec people) after the Mexican Revolution as a way to give the Mexican people a sense of identity and pride in their history.
