Mexico’s murals - CDMX and elsewhere

La Conquista de Cuernavaca (The Conquest of Cuernavaca) by Diego Rivera, Cortez’ Palace, downtown Cuernavaca (not in the AD article); as I grew up with it I’ll add it. See here for closeup thumbnails and photographs of important parts of the mural.

El muralismo mexicano surgió poco tiempo después de la Revolución Mexicana de la mano de Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros y José Clemente Orozco quienes plasmaron sus ideales en obras a gran escala en México y más allá de sus fronteras.
Mexican muralism surged soon after the Mexican Revolution (1910) from the hands of Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros and José Clemente Orozco, who illustrated their ideals in large scale works in Mexico and beyond its borders.
