Procession dans une église Espagnole

Legros, Alphonse, 1837-1911 · [ca. 1854–1911]

The procession comes from outside and crosses the nave. The faithful kneel in the passage; at left, in the choir, groups of choir children and priests; one plays the organ, the other the cello. The interior of the church has now been divded into three sections, each divded by a few steps. The first two parts in the foreground have been separated by iron grill work on each side of the stairs. In the right foreground a bell ringer and a kneeling figure have been added, while the earlier keeling figures have been blocked out by a partition. Note also the change made in the background in the relative sizes of the individuals in the procession, in the addition to a lagre framed picture on the wall at left, and the omission of certain pieces of statuary to the right.
