Abstract

The article explores the presence of Classic Maya artistic cultures in the Hieroglyphic Stairway found in Copan, Honduras. Topics discussed include possible explanations for the lack of artists' names at Copan and two major phases of construction of the stairway. Also discussed is the contribution of Italian art historian and art critic Giovanni Morelli to the study of the stairway.
