About the piece
Painted around 1900 by Karol Tichy, this atmospheric oil painting is a striking example of Polish Symbolism. The composition captures a solemn procession where the stark, geometric forms of the Sisters of Charity's white cornettes create a powerful rhythm against the deep, moody tones of the background, all unified by the warm, warm glow of candlelight.
