Museo Nacional de la Máscara, a photo from San Luis Potosi, Northeast

Photographer's Note

The Marti Palace, initially known with this name, is one of the best examples of architecture and decorative arts of the cosmopolitan influence that crossed through San Luis Potosí.
Constructed from 1893 to 1897 to be the home of Mr. Ramón Martí, a prominent landowner and miner of Catalan origin.
After his death the building was sold to the Federal Government and in 1982 it was chosen to host the rich collection of masks donated to the city by the engineer Victor José Moya.

Bonsoir, cher Pedro,
Pour une famille seule, il devait y avoir de la place !
L'architecture est très ouvragée et le coût de la construction colossal.
Merci pour la note d'accompagnement.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Pedro,
A very elegant house obviously built by a very wealthy man. Your point of view shows the architecture to optimal effect. The people animate the scene and supply scale. Excellent technical realisation.

Hi Pedro,

A good angled pov on this charming and grandiose colonial mansion. I like the ornate, decorative stone carvings. Good sharpness and the passing pedestrians add scale & animate the scene. Tfs!
