  • Definitely there’s a Christian vibe in both posture and theme, but at the left, the man holding the victim’s hand is showing compassion, they are looking at each other’s eyes, and the earlier shows grief in his facial expression. The way he holds his arm and hand is gentle, and he is placed in a lower position than the victim. In fact, all three men holding him are genuflecting, denoting reverence for what is happening rather than glee, with somber faces.

    I want to consider this a case where they tried to add more light to the victim and it backfired, but it is true that often Aztec’s human sacrifice practices were used to handwave the terrible acts done by the European colonists.
