The given print by José Villegas Cordero, titled Palmsonntag in Venedig (translated as Palm Sunday in Venice), illustrates a lively and detailed ceremonial procession within a grand, ornate interior, likely a Venetian church or palace. The foreground features a group of young boys dressed in elaborate, period-appropriate costumes, carrying palms and banners as they sing or chant, creating a vibrant display of devotion and festivity. Behind them, elegantly dressed women, perhaps portraying Venetian nobility or holy figures, carry floral arrangements and interact with the children, adding grace to the ritualistic scene. The background is filled with a crowd of onlookers, including clergy and possibly nobility, who watch from an elevated area adorned with classical arches, intricate carvings, and decorative garlands. The architectural details emphasize the historical and religious importance of the occasion, while the lavish costumes reflect Venice's rich cultural heritage. The bottom of the print includes the artist's name, "J. Villegas," along with the title of the piece, linking it to Venice s traditional Palm Sunday celebrations. .Full Double page Print from an 1894 Publication Moderne Kunst.
