In 1750 the new church of the Society of Jesus was consecrated and dedicated to the Immaculate Conception in the mining town of Zacatecas, north of New Spain. The new building was decorated inside with eleven retablos according to a well-organized iconographic program, developed by the Father Ignacio Calderón, director of the Jesuit School in Zacatecas. Four of these retablos were directly dedicated to the cult of the Virgin Mary, who is also represented, under other different advocations, in two more altarpieces of the church. These exuberant retablos were erected to expose the main Marian devotions promoted by the Society of Jesus in New Spain in the 18th century.
