The Jaguar of the ForestPedro Nel Gómez

Barefoot peasants carry the lifeless body of a jaguar—once a symbol of wild strength—through a stony path. This mural (1935–38) captures the conflict between civilization and nature, reflecting how rural development in Antioquia often came at the cost of ecological destruction and indigenous heritage.
