The authors successfully blend rigorous art historical research with scientific pigment analysis, shedding light on the resilience and creativity of Maya artists...[and] the book’s design and production reflect exceptional quality, as expected from the University of Texas Press...The book excels in presenting a nuanced narrative of Maya-Christian murals. It challenges colonial assumptions by foregrounding Maya Native contributions to art history while illustrating cultural resistance through visual media. (Journal of Maya Heritage)
