EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Holy Week in Seville, specifically the Good Friday Procession, as depicted in Le Petit Journal on March 28th, 1891. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with religious fervor and solemnity. At the center of the procession stands Jesus Christ himself, carrying his heavy cross with unwavering determination. His presence emanates strength and compassion, drawing all eyes towards him. Surrounding him are nazarenos, their pointed hats known as capirotes creating an air of mystery and intrigue. These penitents carry long candles called cirios, symbolizing their devotion to their faith. The streets come alive with color and movement as participants march forward amidst a sea of spectators. Soldiers donning armor stand guard along the route while hermandad members maintain order during this sacred celebration. Every detail captured by Meaulle and Meyer's masterful lithography transports us back to this momentous occasion over a century ago. This image serves not only as a visual representation but also evokes emotions tied to tradition, spirituality, and community. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our private collection today, we are reminded of the enduring power that religious rituals hold in uniting people across time and space. It is through such images that we can appreciate both the beauty of artistry and its ability to preserve significant cultural moments for generations to come.
