Painted between 1929 and 1935 as part of his \"The History of Mexico\" cycle at the National Palace in Mexico City, the scene captures the brutal clash between Spanish conquistadors and Aztec warriors. The composition is packed with symbolic imagery, including an eagle devouring a serpent: the foundational legend of Tenochtitlan. Rivera’s signature style, characterized by bold colors and crowded, narrative-driven spaces, transforms historical trauma into an enduring masterpiece of Mexican Muralism, intended to educate the public through a proud Indigenist lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Linen (circa 1936–1945)\u003cbr\u003eCity: Mexico City (México, D.F.)\u003cbr\u003eState or Region: Distrito Federal\u003cbr\u003eCountry: Mexico\u003cbr\u003eTopic: Diego Rivera Murals, The Conquest of Mexico, Aztec History, National Palace Art, Mexican Muralism\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Uncirculated\u003cbr\u003ePostage: None\u003cbr\u003eAddress Side: divided back\u003cbr\u003eOrientation: Horizontal (Landscape)\u003cbr\u003eArtist \/ Photographer: Diego Rivera (1886–1957)\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: The Fischgrund Publishing Co., Mexico City\u003cbr\u003ePrinter: F.

The manufacturing date is narrowed to circa 1936–1945; while the mural was completed in 1935, this specific series using the \"Athenaeum Decorates America\" logo (seen in the bottom right corner) was heavily distributed during the late 1930s and World War II era. The printer, F. Sanchez R. y Cia., was a key partner for Fischgrund in creating these vibrant \"linen\" textures that mimicked the scale and color of the original frescoes. Rivera's murals at the National Palace remain one of Mexico's most visited cultural treasures, and this card served as an affordable way for travelers to own a piece of the massive 544-square-meter masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis postcard would look great framed or make an excellent addition to any collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLove it ♡\u003cbr\u003eGet it ☆\u003cbr\u003eGet Lucky 💋 Vintage\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Get Lucky Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46768379887805,"sku":"3574","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4818\/1181\/files\/3574.jpg?v=1778465339","url":"https:\/\/www.getluckyvintage.com\/products\/3574","provider":"Get Lucky Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
