The first study of Christian murals created by indigenous artists in sixteenth and seventeenth century Yucat�n. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Maya artists painted murals in churches and conventos of Yucat�n using traditional techniques to depict iconography brought from Europe by Franciscan friars. The fragmentary visual remains and their placement within religious structures embed Maya conceptions of sacredness beyond the didactic imagery. Mobilizing both cutting-edge technology and tried-and-true analytical methods, art historians Amara Solari and Linda K. Williams reexamine the Maya Christian murals, centering the agency of the people who created them. The first volume to comprehensively document the paintings, Maya Christian Murals of Early Modern Yucat�n collects new research on the material composition of the works, made possible by cutting-edge imaging methods. Solari and Williams investigate pigments and other material resources, as well as the artists and historical contexts of the murals. The authors uncover numerous local innovations in form and content, including images celebrating New World saints, celestial timekeeping, and ritual processions. Solari and Williams argue that these murals were not simply vehicles of coercion, but of cultural "grafting," that allowed Maya artists to shape a distinctive and polyvocal legacy in their communities.
