About the piece
Painted in 1868 by Rafael Ritz, this work depicts a pilgrimage to the Hermitage of Longeborgne. The composition highlights the majestic scale of the Valais mountains, with the small, white-walled chapel clinging to the rugged rock while a diverse crowd of villagers engages in prayer and reflection below. Ritz's attention to detail in the figures' traditional attire and the play of light across the stone creates a powerful sense of place and devotion.
