About the piece

Painted in 1876, this work by Oswald Achenbach masterfully depicts the Feast of St. Anne in Casamicciola on the island of Ischia. The composition balances the dense, dark foliage and towering banner of the foreground with the brilliant light of the procession and the serene twilight blue of the Mediterranean coast in the distance.
