De la mano de Michael Coe a las manos de los artistas estilo códice: Cincuenta años de estudios

Summary

This is an abstract from the "A Celebration and Critical Assessment of "The Maya Scribe and His World" on its Fiftieth Anniversary" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The Grolier exhibition commissioned by M. Coe in 1973 came to researchers as an inescapable reference that remains today. His studies on codex-style vessels, so defined by him, opened the door to new studies from different perspectives and approaches that are reviewed here. This study revolves around two main aspects. On the one hand, the findings of the last decades in the political environment of Calakmul are presented. On the other hand, and from an art history perspective, we are interested in reviewing the themes and their relationship with the support, as well as the style, technique, composition, and even the light used by the masters of the codex style to create the scenes.
