Zitto. Silenzio, che passa la ronda is a 1869 oil by Josep Lluis Pellicer, a Realism work, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
This painting depicts a nighttime scene of a group of people in dark attire walking in a line, possibly a procession or a group of guards. The figures are dressed in dark clothing and hats, with some carrying sticks or staffs. In the background, there are buildings and a cloudy sky. The painting is rendered in dark, muted tones, with an emphasis on shadows and silhouettes. The overall mood is somber and subdued, with a sense of quiet contemplation. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and dimensionality to the painting.
Josep Lluis Pellicer (1842–1901) was an artist, born in Barcelona.
