In the late sixteenth century, Rome’s attempts to manage sanctity as an official process had a profound impact throughout Spain and the Spanish viceroyalties. Saintly devotions traveled to Mexico, and circulated within the vast territory as images or print, then to be transformed by New Spain’s own communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on collections from Mexico and the United States, this book examines the role of images in the construction of the holy: these paintings, sculptures, and engravings routinely used to propagate, celebrate, and venerate saintly figures, and used in official beatification and canonization proceedings. The relationship between sanctity and the pictorial is a long, revered tradition that continues in the work of New Mexico’s santero artists today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor Cristina Cruz Gonzales\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn association with the New Mexico Museum of Art\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Mexico Museum of Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67718053429411,"sku":"qio1792245079094","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/4523\/6387\/files\/saints-santos-picturing-the-holy-in-new-spain_1.jpg?v=1792245085","url":"https:\/\/www.olivebrookcart.shop\/products\/saints-santos-picturing-the-holy-in-new-spain","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
