“National Emblem” – Chromolithograph

$2,100.00

Historic and iconic, National Emblem by José Obregón is a chromolithograph capturing one of Mexico’s most enduring symbols: the eagle devouring a serpent atop a cactus. This powerful image, drawn from Aztec legend, is the heart of Mexico’s national identity and appears on its flag and seal — but Obregón’s interpretation offers it in rich, layered detail. Printed using Catalan lithographic techniques, this artwork combines precision with painterly depth. It’s more than a patriotic symbol — it’s a cultural narrative rendered in color and line. Whether displayed in a home, library, or institutional setting, National Emblem is a dignified tribute to heritage and mythology.
