Die Prozession I 1903

"Die Prozession I" (1903) by Austrian artist Albin Egger-Lienz depicts a procession of figures, likely a religious procession, illuminated by the light of a lantern as they move through a shadowy forest. The painting captures the solemnity and mystery of the event, with the figures rendered in a loose, expressive style that evokes the emotion of the moment. This work reflects Egger-Lienz's interest in the lives and traditions of the Austrian peasantry. The painting's dark background and muted colors create a sense of depth and atmosphere, highlighting the figures' journey through the forest.
