An open ancient volume
Artista: Bernardino de Sahagún (coord.)
Siglo XVI · México
Colección: Códice Florentino
This image presents an open page from a 16th-century manuscript volume, coordinated by Bernardino de Sahagún, likely the celebrated Florentine Codex. It features columns of Spanish text accompanied by two detailed and stylized illustrations of trees, reflecting the flora and natural environment of New Spain. The style of the illustrations, with their defined outlines and flat colors, is characteristic of the ethnographic codices of the era, combining documentary rigor with a descriptive aesthetic.
