Pilger in den Abruzzen is a 1895 oil by Ernst Stückelberg, a Art Nouveau work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
The painting depicts a scene with a group of people gathered around a large cross. The people are dressed in various clothing, with some wearing hats and others carrying bags. In the background, there are buildings and trees visible. A notable detail in the painting is the use of warm colors, which creates a sense of depth and atmosphere. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured look. To learn more about the artist's use of color and texture, look up the technique of glazing.
