Abstract

This article focuses on analyzing the Allegory of the heavenly Jerusalemand the Franciscan Order, painting formerly considered to be anonymous, located in the sacristy of the church of San Miguel in Mexquitic (San Luis Potosi, Mexico). The author reports on the findings –based on primary sources and on-site examination of the canvas– that enabled him to determine the artist and date of this painting. He likewise discusses the formal and iconographic aspects of the work, explaining the military and spiritual discourse by which the mystery of the Immaculate Conception was defended by the Spanish monarchy and the Franciscan Order. As a result, a new title is proposed: The Mystery of the Immaculate Conception
