Summary
Jean-Frédéric Waldeck's artistic documentation of Palenque offers a unique lens into the diffusionist cultural interpretations of 19th-century Mesoamerican studies. His 14-month stay in Palenque resulted in a substantial body of visual and written work that challenges traditional narratives about the site's history. By analyzing his personal records, this study reveals how diffusionist ideas shaped his creative process, providing new insights into the intersection of art, archaeology, and cultural interpretation during this period.
