The Corpus Christi Procession Leaving the Church of Santa Maria del Mar
Painting by Ramon Casas
The Corpus Christi Procession Leaving the Church of Santa Maria del Mar is an oil painting by Ramon Casas painted in 1898 in Barcelona and currently in the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in Barcelona.
In 1896, an attack was carried out against the Corpus Christi procession, which had left the Church of Santa Maria del Mar of Barcelona, killing twelve people and creating panic in the city.
Casas chooses to paint the time of departure of the procession from the church, before passing on the Canvis Nous street, where the attack took place.
