Feathered Serpents and Flowering Trees: Reconstructing the Murals at Teotihuacan Hardcover – January 1, 1988
by Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (Author), Kathleen Berrin (Editor), Clara Millon (Editor)

"Feathered Serpents and Flowering Trees: Reconstructing the Murals of Teotihuacan" is a book published 1988 for the Exhibition at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco by Kathleen Berrin and Clara Millon. The book focuses on the murals of the ancient Mesoamerican city of Teotihuacan, which is located northeast of modern-day Mexico City.

The authors aim to provide a comprehensive analysis of the murals of Teotihuacan, which are considered some of the most remarkable and influential examples of Mesoamerican art. They explore the themes, symbolism, and artistic techniques used in the murals, as well as their historical and cultural significance.

The book is divided into two main parts. The first part focuses on the Feathered Serpent Pyramid, the most iconic structure in Teotihuacan, and the murals found inside it. The authors examine the iconography of the murals, which depict the Feathered Serpent, the city's patron deity, as well as other important figures and scenes from Teotihuacan's mythology and cosmology.

The second part of the book deals with the murals found in other structures in Teotihuacan, such as the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Moon. The authors analyze the artistic techniques used in the murals, including the use of color, composition, and perspective, and compare them to other examples of Mesoamerican art.

Overall, "Feathered Serpents and Flowering Trees" is a well-researched and insightful book that provides a fascinating look at the murals of Teotihuacan and their cultural and historical significance. It is an essential read for anyone interested in Mesoamerican art, history, and culture.
