“La Historia de México” by Diego Rivera is a mural painted in the National Palace in Mexico City, where Cortes and Malinche resided. The painting is made up of three walls with five arches, three in the middle, one to the left and one to the right, covering over 600 years of Mexican history. The right arch shows the Aztec civilization before the invasion of the Spanish, how prosperous and at peace, they were with their system and religion. It focuses on the god of the Aztecs and Mayans, Quetzalcoatl; behind him, the sun and moon pyramids in the city of Teotihuacan are shown. Everything seems perfect until you see the upside-down sun, which gives a negative connotation. The arch on the left depicts Karl Marx leading a revolution pointing to the utopian future, where nature and industrialization go hand in hand. You can see that behind him, workers follow his lead. Under said revolt, you see the corrupt men that are leading the Mexican people; a priest kissing a prostitute (representing the corruption of the Catholic church), and the cruel capitalists and businessmen, along with the army. The three main arches in the middle show the conquest, war, independence, as well as revolution of Mexico. In the mural, you can see the Mexican people with their leaders, revolting against the Spanish, French, and just anyone who came in trying to change their identity. Though chaotic, under each arch you can see an order; you can look at the figures that lead to a difference in Mexico, and those who created chaos in Mexico.
