Bonampak and its Murals.
The name Bonampak means "painted walls"  in reference to the vivid murals found at the archeological site inside Structure I, depicting colorful scenes of everyday life, celebrations, and warfare among the ancient Maya.
The Bonampak murals are regarded as some of the most intricate and well-preserved artworks of the Maya civilization, showcasing the pinnacle of their artistic achievement. Renowned art historian Mary Ellen Miller of Yale University describes them as "Perhaps the single greatest achievement of Maya art," indisputably positioning them as the finest indigenous paintings of the New World (from "Maya Art and Architecture," published in 1999).
