Abstract: A book that documents and studies the history and murals in the Museo de la Insurgencia (Museum of the Insurgency) located in the municipality of Rincón de Romos (Aguascalientes). The author analyzes the murals painted in the museum the same year of its inauguration (1964) by artist Alfredo Zermeño Flores (b. Aguascalientes, 1938), while trying to discover the iconographic sources that inspired his murals: a work by José T. Vela and the historic advice of academic and chronologist Alejandro Topete del Valle. The mural is titled "La destitución del mando de las fuerzas insurgentes al generalísimo Miguel Hidalgo en junta de guerra de altos jefes en la Hacienda de Pabellón, Aguascalientes, 25 de enero de 1811" (The destitution of the command of the insurgent forces from generalissimo Miguel Hidalgo in a council of war held by the main rebel leaders in the Hacienda de Pabellón (now the museum), Aguascalientes, 25 of January of 1811), portrays an historic event vividly described by historian Vela in his work. The book was published as part of the celebrations of Mexico's bicentenary.
