The mural that was destroyed is "Man at the Crossroads," originally commissioned for the Rockefeller Center in New York City. Diego Rivera included a depiction of Vladimir Lenin, which led to significant controversy and backlash from the Rockefeller family and patrons who opposed communism. As a result, the mural was ultimately painted over in 1934. Rivera later recreated a version of it at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City.
