Catecismo Testeriano 1
Artista: No identificado
Siglo XVI · México
Colección: Catecismo Testeriano
This page from a Testerian Catechism, a popular and didactic work of art from the 16th century, features a series of vignettes illustrating religious concepts simply and directly. The schematic figures, drawn with thick lines and colored with flat inks, are reminiscent of a primitivist style, focusing on the clarity of the message over realistic representation. These catechisms were fundamental tools for the evangelization of indigenous peoples in Mexico, using images to teach Christian doctrine.
