Grote menigte figuren met kap op een begraafplaats 1877 - 1930

Henri de Groux's "Grote menigte figuren met kap op een begraafplaats" (1877-1930) is a powerful black and white etching that depicts a large crowd of people gathered in a cemetery. The artist's use of expressive lines and stark contrasts creates a sense of somberness and despair, reflecting the emotional weight of the scene. The figures, mostly shrouded in darkness, stand in a dense mass, highlighting the anonymity and collective grief of the mourners. This artwork is a significant example of de Groux's social realism, exploring themes of death, mourning, and the human condition.
