One of the most understated treasures in the current exhibition at the Museum of International Folk Art, The Red That Colored the World, is the Florentine Codex. The book is opened to the pages that deal with the production of the cochineal red pigment in Mexico, beginning with bugs crawling on cactus paddles and ending with men painting manuscripts with the color those beetles produce. On Sunday, June 21, scholar and Los Angeles County Museum of Art curator Diana Magaloni Kerpel gives a talk at MoIFA entitled “Painting the Florentine Codex,” in which she will present the results of more than a decade of research on the manuscript.
