Did You Know?

Diego Rivera was one of numerous Mexican muralists to depict Emiliano Zapata around the time this print was made.

Description

This print depicts Emiliano Zapata (1879–1919), a leader of the Mexican Revolution who became a symbol of progressive politics in the decades following his assassination. Zapata disavowed his privileged background and fought for workers’ rights. Diego Rivera's lithograph emphasized Zapata's heroism, showing him leading a white horse and a band of followers.
Vertically oriented print in black ink depicting Emiliano Zapata, a man with medium skin tone, dark hair, and a moustache, leading a white horse while people with medium skin tone holding weapons cluster behind him. Zapata, wearing all white, holds a scythe in his right hand and the horse's reins in the other. The horse turns its heads towards Zapata, who stands over a person laying, eyes closed, at his feet.
