Bubbling with anticipation, a group of cheerful children get ready for the Corpus Christi procession. The girls’ fine white dresses shine brightly in the sunlight. A boy holding a candle laughs and turns back to the group. However, the children in the foreground look very different: barefoot and shabbily dressed, they gaze in amazement at their peers. Although it resembles a snapshot of a fleeting moment, this work is a meticulously composed scene that also demonstrates Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller’s distinctive approach to sunlight. The artist was dedicated to the study of nature and introduced bold effects of light and shadow in his paintings.Painting101966498841Upper Belvederehttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-8841/manifest
