- Abstract
This article aims to investigate the decisions taken by the Hispanic monarchy regarding the destination that the paintings of the Society of Jesus should have reached, after their expulsion in 1767. In this respect, the present article is based on the comparison between the recommendations of Antonio Rafael Mengs, a Bourbon painter, with regard to the most favorable use that could be given to existing works in the Iberian Peninsula (which determines the patrimonial survey carried out by Antonio Ponz in his Trip) and the course that similar works had in Rio de la Plata viceroyalty. The article then proposes exploring the dynamics of circulation of images and cult objects that, on more than one occasion, were crossed by the particular interests of a number of agents, such as royal officials, prelates or priests, and were involved in redistribution processes which motivated their symbolic resignification.
