I wrote my undergraduate dissertation on this topic: Investigating the influences on 17th C. Spanish Art depicting visions and religious experiences.

Have been asked by the mods to post the dissertation separately from the artwork so happy to oblige -

Thanks for contributing both to this community and to the academic study of art.

Beautiful selection to highlight on your post.

Thanks! It was fun to write at the time. I was doing a double major of History of Art and Philosophy but the HoA was definitely inflating my grade average!

What if this was the equivalent of like a 17th century shit post?

Cano did a good job of convincing the church he was being sincere! Probably would have been excommunicated or executed if they suspected him of herasy.

Edit: he personally described his work as being "edifying" lol
