Whole artwork view. Procession of Saint Pantaleon, patron of Migliarico in Abruzzo, in the occasion of the celebration dedicated to him on July, 27; the painting, which was a great originality in the artistic panorama of that time, portrays an episode of strong popular religiosity, shaped to a rough realism: female and male farmers lick the ground, dirty with dust and mud, and crawl in order to reach the silver bust of the Saint, behind which are high chandleholders, in order to honour a vow; a crowd of kneeling women and children, with votive church candles, attends to the ceremony; among people, the parrish celebrates the mass
