EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing by Josep Lluis Pellicer, titled "Freneria street on Palm Sunday," transports us back to Barcelona in the late 19th century. The vibrant image, created in 1888, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural and religious history of Catalonia, Spain. Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, a significant time in the Christian calendar. In Barcelona, this day was celebrated with great fervor, as seen in this illustration. The street, adorned with colorful houses and balconies, is filled with people of all ages, eagerly watching the procession pass by. The men, dressed in their finest attire, stand at the edges of the street, while children cling to branches laden with palm fronds. A policeman stands watch, ensuring the safety of the crowd as the procession makes its way through the city. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of a lamppost, casting a warm glow over the bustling street. The contemporary feel of the drawing is a testament to Pellicer's exceptional artistic abilities, which captured the essence of Barcelona's society during this period. This illustration, titled "The Catalan Illustration," is a remarkable piece of historical art that offers a glimpse into the past. It showcases the richness and diversity of Barcelona's culture, religion, and people during the late 19th century. The use of color adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a truly captivating work of art.
