Village Procession 1787

Francisco Goya’s "Village Procession" (1787) depicts a religious procession in a Spanish village. The painting, notable for its loose brushstrokes and atmospheric light, captures the solemnity and devotion of the villagers as they make their way towards a church, with the looming hill providing a dramatic backdrop. The scene evokes the traditional practices and religious fervor of rural Spain in the late 18th century, showcasing Goya's ability to portray both the grandeur and the intimacy of daily life.
