Procession of Souls | Louis Welden Hawkins | 1890 Vasily Surikov with towering icebergs rising dramaticallyAbout the artwork: Procession of Souls is a symbolist painting by Louis Welden Hawkins, created around 1890, during a period when European artists were increasingly turning away from realism in favor of psychological and spiritual themes. The work presents a silent, almost ritualistic movement of figures that appear detached from the physical world, suggesting a collective passage between life and death rather than a literal religious scene.
