About the piece
This 1897 oil painting by Jean Célestin Tancrède Bastet depicts "Les Rogations," a traditional Roman Catholic procession for the blessing of the fields. The artist's realist style is evident in the expressive faces of the men and the meticulous rendering of the heavy white robes and delicate lace of the acolyte's surplice, creating a sense of quiet, solemn dignity.
