About the piece

Painted in 1866 by Finnish artist Severin Falkman, this work captures the theatrical solemnity of a procession in Rome. The composition juxtaposes the vibrant red of hooded figures with the deep blacks and muted tones of the surrounding crowd, set against a backdrop of imposing classical architecture and sunlit buildings.
