About the piece
James Ensor’s 1888 magnum opus is a landmark of modern art, depicting a modern-day religious procession with biting satirical wit. The canvas is packed with a frenetic, anarchic crowd wearing grotesque masks—a signature Ensor motif used to critique the hypocrisy of society—rendered in a bold, vibrant palette that anticipates the Expressionist movement.
