Sueño de una Tarde Dominical en la Alameda Central, Monumental mural at Museo Mural Diego Rivera, Mexico City
Sueño de una Tarde Dominical en la Alameda Central is a mural by Diego Rivera that measures 15.6 meters in width. The work shows more than 150 historical figures walking through Alameda park on a Sunday afternoon.
Rivera painted the fresco in 1947 at the Hotel Del Prado, where it remained until the major earthquake of 1985. After the damage it was removed from the building and brought to the current museum.
The figure wearing a top hat in the center comes from José Guadalupe Posada and symbolizes the Mexican relationship with death. On the right stands the artist Frida Kahlo next to Rivera as a boy, both dressed in the clothing of their time.
The museum provides information panels in several languages that identify all the people in the work. Time in front of the mural passes quickly because there are many details to discover.
Rivera originally wrote the words „God does not exist
