This dissertation examines the visual iconography of local candidates for sainthood in the art of colonial Puebla from the middle of the seventeenth century to the end of the eighteenth. The cult of the saints was central to the religious culture of this devout Catholic society and one hundred years after the Conquest of Mexico, the citizens of the newly Christianized land of New Spain still had no recognized saints of their own. To elevate their candidates to the altars in Rome, local patrons had to successfully navigate the new more rigorous juridical procedure for beatification and canonization established by Urban VIII (1623-1644). These requirements resulted in a prolonged process of negotiation between local proponents of these causes and the Congregation of Sacred Rites. Generations of local patrons continued to remodel their venerables to better comply with Roman standards and inspire local devotion.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation examines the visual iconography of local candidates for sainthood in the art of colonial Puebla from the middle of the seventeenth century to the end of the eighteenth. The cult of the saints was central to the religious culture of this devout Catholic society and one hundred years after the Conquest of Mexico, the citizens of the newly Christianized land of New Spain still had no recognized saints of their own. To elevate their candidates to the altars in Rome, local patrons had to successfully navigate the new more rigorous juridical procedure for beatification and canonization established by Urban VIII (1623-1644). These requirements resulted in a prolonged process of negotiation between local proponents of these causes and the Congregation of Sacred Rites. Generations of local patrons continued to remodel their venerables to better comply with Roman standards and inspire local devotion.
520 $a Taking as a point of departure the sociological concept that the constructed image of a saint is a reflection of a society's ideals, this study traces the development of the iconography of Puebla's three most promising colonial candidates: Sebastian de Aparicio (1502-1600), Maria de Jesus Tomelin (1579-1637), and Juan de Palafox y Mendoza (1600-1659) over the course of their long campaigns. Ultimately, none of colonial Puebla's candidates for sainthood was ever canonized, but the hagiographic process transformed each individual into an idealized representative of the social group promoting the cause. This study first explores Puebla's own collective self-representation in historical chronicles, the role of the cult of the saints in Puebla's society, and the development of local hagiography. The three case studies that follow outline the history of each individual's cause for sainthood and the development of his or her hagiographic legend and demonstrate how their iconography in prints and paintings continued to respond to both the requirements of the Roman canonization process and the changing needs of local patrons.
