Things to Notice Seam where the hide was stitched together.

What Kinds of Paints Were Used?

Paint was applied directly to the hides with no gesso or background preparation. The blue paint is an indigo dye while the other colors are organic materials (clays for red and yellow) or minerals (iron sulfate for green and black) ground and made locally.

Things to Notice Holes in various parts of the picture might be from bullets piercing the bison’s hide.

The Artistic Style The late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries were the final great period of European battle tapestries, the style of which may have influenced the commissioned Segesser hides.

Who Painted the Segesser Hides?

Colonial census documents list a number of painters in pueblos and Hispanic villages in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Nicolás JirÓn de Tejeda, a painter and presidial soldier, was a member of the Segesser expedition. Tejeda was wounded and feared dead, but eventually returned to Santa Fe in 1733.

HIS SUMMER, three exhibitions carry a thread that links them to each other.

A Past Rediscovered:

Highlights from the Palace of the Governors is a visual journey through New Mexico history. It also includes objects created by Japanese American men interned at New Mexico camps during World War II, a little-known moment in New Mexico history.

One of the largest of the Japanese incarceration camps was built in Santa Fe, while another was operated in Lordsburg. Although prisoners, the Japanese American detainees maintained their culture, even running their own newspaper, the Santa Fe Jiho. The letters and other objects of
