Low-relief reproduced from a painting by Louis Léopold Robert

“In the prestigious setting of the Bay of Naples and along the shore of the gulf, a joyous caravan returns from the legendary pilgrimage to the Madonna dell’Arco. […] On this day, the gulf shimmers under the immaculate azure sky, and the light vapor rising from Vesuvius attests to the serene stillness of the air. The festival must have been delightful, as our pilgrims display great enthusiasm. On the advancing cart, a young girl is seated, dressed in traditional Neapolitan attire; in her right hand, she holds a garlanded staff adorned with a bouquet. Behind her, a young man stands, leaning slightly and holding her by the waist.” @muséedulouvre
