Begrafenisstoet op weg naar burcht 1706

"Begrafenisstoet op weg naar burcht" (1706) by Bernard Picart depicts a funeral procession with a long line of mourners, including clergy, moving towards a fortified castle. The figures are detailed in the engraving, and the scene has a somber and religious atmosphere. The presence of angels in the sky suggests a heavenly ascent or a sense of spiritual comfort. The artwork, held in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Picart's skill in depicting detailed historical scenes, and offers a glimpse into 18th-century Dutch art and religious practices.
