He painted 50 linen cloths with the Laurentina Litany for the [[Cathedral of Santo Domingo, Cusco]]. Red and blue were prominent colors in his palette.<ref name=arte>Wuffarden, Luis E.

His influential style developed between 1748 and 1773; The themes are primarily Christian subjects meant for churches in Peru and Chile.<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal |
By order of the Jesuits, Zapata created another similar series of painting, assisted by his apprentice, Cipriano Gutiérrez. These included an enthroned Virgin, which Zapata finished in 1764 for the Parish of the [[Catedral de la Almudena|Almudena]]. His majestic representation enjoyed enormous acceptance, judging by the large numbers of copies and variants that circulated in throughout the region. The fame of Zapata widely extended the limits of Cuzco, and its sphere of influence extended through Peru, Chile, and northern Argentina. The art of this teacher was continued in later decades by several of his followers, including Antonio Vilca and Ignacio Chacón.<ref name=arte/>
