Funeral procession, the Blessed Virgin 

This etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, a prominent Italian artist known for his architectural fantasies and meticulous engravings, depicts a dramatic scene of men struggling to move a heavy stone. The scene is likely inspired by biblical narratives and suggests a sense of labor and hardship. Piranesi's use of chiaroscuro, creating strong contrasts of light and shadow, contributes to the dramatic tension of the composition. The etching's intricate detail and masterful use of line work are characteristic of Piranesi's style and contribute to the sense of realism and dynamism.
