El Velorio 1927

"El Velorio" (1927) by Mexican artist Manuel Rodríguez Lozano depicts a scene of mourning and religious devotion. The painting features a group of figures gathered around a deceased individual, their somber expressions and the presence of candles and crosses highlighting the solemnity of the event. Lozano's bold, simplified forms and use of rich, vibrant colors create a sense of both intimacy and monumentality, characteristic of his artistic style. This artwork is currently on display at the Museo Nacional de Arte (MUNAL) in Mexico City.
