Procession of the Dead Christ 1946

"Procession of the Dead Christ" is an oil painting by Italian artist Alberto Burri, created in 1946. This artwork depicts a religious procession in a dark and somber setting, with a group of cloaked figures carrying a shrouded body. The use of muted colors and expressive brushstrokes creates a sense of solemnity and grief. The scene is reminiscent of traditional religious iconography while Burri's unique style adds a sense of raw emotionality. This painting is a notable example of Burri's early work, exploring themes of death, faith, and the human condition.
