Mecenazgo y patrocinio religioso novohispano en Lebrija (Sevilla)

Laburpena

This research aims to contribute to the knowledge of the relations between Andalusia and America in the field of patronage and religious sponsorship. Specifically, this article has as main objective to clarify some particular circumstances around the payroll of Indians that enhanced these activities in the Old Kingdom of Seville. In this order, we focus on the family Mora-Mori, from Yanguitlán (Oaxaca) and settled in Lebrija (Seville). The husband, an andalusian merchant based in Mexico, and the wife, a native of the place, will carry out their turning in 1757, beginning a new period in which they will continue their intervention in the ecclesiastical and artistic field, already initiated in the Indies, having Mori a fundamental role, both in their marriage and alone, during widowhood.
