Description: The texts that make up the book study the forms of collaboration between the most renowned painter from New Spain in the mid-eighteenth century, Miguel Cabrera (Antequera, Valley of Oaxaca 1695-1768) and the Jesuits, highlighting the work Cabrera did on behalf of the Ignatian order, especially for the San Francisco Javier temple of the Colegio de Tepotzotlán, which underlies the influence of the perspective treatise of the Jesuit Andrea Pozzo, as mentioned by the curator of the show Veronica Zaragoza. Besides the use of European sources to elaborate the iconographic and aesthetic program of Tepotzotlán, the texts explore the participation of the painter in the proclamation of the Virgin of Guadalupe as patron of New Spain, as well as some works of saints and Jesuit devotions.
Notes: Published on the occasion of the exhibition held at the Museo Nacional de Virreinato in Tepotzotlán, Mexico in 2015 and at the Casa ITESO Clavigero, Tlaquepaque, Jalisco in 2017.
