La Gran Tenochtitlan by Diego Rivera, Palacio Nacional de Mexico

Rivera’s marketplace is “an encyclopedic presentation of the multiple products, services, activities, and personages to be seen at the great Aztec marketplace. Presided over by an enthroned official, all is calm and orderly in the market. . . .” (Goldman 104).
