Tríptico de la infamia (2014a), a novel by Pablo Montoya, develops the topic of body painting among the Florida Timucua indigenous people, in the context of a failed attempt of French colonization during the 16th century. Considering the dearth of documents that treat this particular ethnological event, the author draws upon resources such as mimesis in anthropological discourse and ethno-fiction, particularly based on reflections and data divulged by Claude Lévi-Strauss in his Tristes trópicos (1992). With this, the article presents, appealing to anthropological legitimacy, what are, in fact, aesthetic musings.
