About the piece
In 'Kissing the Relic,' Joaquín Sorolla captures a poignant moment of communal faith with his signature mastery of light and shadow. The 1893 composition focuses on a line of worshipers in traditional Spanish attire as they approach a priest within a richly textured church interior. Sorolla’s luminous treatment of the figures' skin tones and the varied fabrics of their headscarves creates a scene of profound reverence and historical charm.
