After months of work, artist Dieter Erhard (Art Center Seadrift) has completed his 17 foot eagle. “Aquila Giganteus” in the city of Erlangen/Tennenlobe, Germany.
Having studied art with Bellas Artes in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, Dieter has made this work as an homage to Mexico and the good times he had there.
In the 14th century, the Aztecs searched for a new place to live. The myth is that they were told to look for an eagle sitting on a cactus with a snake. They settled in Tenochtitlan, which is now Mexico City.
