Quick Overview

Children of the Plumed Serpent: The legacy of Quetzalcoatl in Ancient Mexico accompanies a unique exhibition, the very first systematic investigation of the social and cultural complexities of the late pre-Columbian and early colonial eras as expressed in art. Embodying their belief that Quetzalcoatl had established the royal lineages of their noble families as he progressed on his epic journey across Mexico, his followers referred to themselves as the Children of the Plumed Serpent. For his followers, the narrative of Quetzalcoatl informed every aspect of their artistic endeavor. Among the book's 240 illustrations are gorgeous photographs of codices, polychromatic ceramics and exquisite works in gold, jade, and shell. Its spirited and authoritative text features exciting new insights and in-depth analysis by over fifteen leading researchers, archaeologists, and curators. Establishing a nuanced view of Mexico's artistic history, this groundbreaking volume illuminates the enduring power of Quetzalcoatl as icon and inspiration from earliest history to the present day.
