Abstract	:	‭It has long been recognized that Joachim of Fiore (d. 1202), the Calabrian abbot, prophet, and artist, had a profound effect on the mendicant friars, particularly on the Franciscans and Dominicans who recognized their respective founders in his eschatological prophecies. Both orders made use of Joachim’s prognostications in their self-defense and in their world mission, especially when the New World was discovered. Franciscan art in the Andes and Mexico employed Joachimite references, and included the portrait of the Calabrian abbot in paintings depicting a flying Saint Francis of Assisi. There is evidence that native peoples saw and understood this unique New World iconography, with its utopian and apocalyptic messages, within their own cultural constructs and values. The end result suggests that Joachim of Fiore was better known in the Spanish colonial world than in the medieval European world of his own day, and that the visual arts had much to do with this.‬
