Your own Aztec Posters

If you're looking for your own Aztec posters, this is a great place to start.  Of course, if you've visited the rest of this site, you'll have a much better understanding how the people and events in this art fit into Aztec history.  With that background, maybe you want your own little bit of the empire on your wall - either an inexpensive poster or a high quality framed work of art!

I searched through hundreds of Aztec posters, and chose a few of my favourites to get you started:

The Emperor Cuauhtémoc - last emperor of the Aztec empire.  Read more about Cuauhtémoc and the fall of the Aztec empire here.  This is an Art Giclee poster print.	Get Cuauhtémoc poster
This is one of the most famous Aztec posters - an artist's rendition of Moctezuma II (Montezuma or Muteczuma).  This is also the most famous emperor - the one Cortes met when he arrived in Mexico. Though I chose this poster, another popular one is this print by C. Cook, another black and white by Andre Thevet	Get Moctezuma II poster
Just one more of the most famous emperor.  This one is by artist Pierre Duflos.	Get Moctezuma II poster

Diego Rivera is the most famous muralist in Mexico.  His paintings covered many historic and political topics, including the conquest of the Spanish in Mexico and the Aztec empire itself. Here you can see typical Rivera - a rich painting of the people of Tenochtitlan (read more about Tenochtitlan in the article on Mexico City history). It's hard to see the rich detail in this picture - check out this photo of the Tenochtitlan mural.	Get Rivera's Tenochtitlan poster
This classical style poster shows Moctezuma and his council debating.  One of the more unique and artistic of the Aztec posters.	Get the Council Debate poster
One of the most unusual posters, this is a detail showing the animals of an Aztec emperor.  Can you tell what they all are?  This poster is 18 x 24 x 18 inches.	Get Aztec animals poster
One of the most incredible cities ever built, Tenochtitlan was an unmatched feat of engineering.  This one-of-a-kind map shows how the city was laid out, with causeways connecting it to the mainland.  The link to the left takes you to a 12x16 inch poster, but you can get the huge 30x40 inch Tenochtitlan poster here.

The last of the Aztec posters shows the start of one of the greatest clashes of cultures ever.  The start of a meeting between Cortes and the Moctezuma.  This, of course, does not depict their very first meeting, which took place out on one of the causeways.  This is a realistic, colourful artist's recreation of the event.
