Feast of Our Lady of Herbs is a 1891 oil by Antoni Gramatyka, held at National Museum in Kraków.
The painting depicts a lively scene of people gathered around a priest, who is standing in front of a doorway. The priest is dressed in white robes and is holding a large bowl, while the people surrounding him are dressed in various colors and are holding flowers. Above the doorway, a woman in a white robe is floating in the air, surrounded by angels and cherubs. The scene is set in a room with brown walls and a doorway that appears to lead to another room. The atmosphere is one of celebration and joy, with the people gathered around the priest seeming to be in a state of reverence. This painting is reminiscent of the works of artists who have used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and drama in their paintings.
