Coming Out of Church is a 1875 oil by Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta, a Orientalism work, held at Walters Art Museum.
This painting shows a group of people gathered outside a church, with some standing and others sitting on the steps. They are dressed in clothing from the 19th century, and some are holding umbrellas or baskets. The scene is set in front of a large green door with intricate carvings, which appears to be the entrance to the church. The artist has used a range of colors to depict the scene, from the muted tones of the clothing to the brighter hues of the umbrellas and baskets. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the people are pausing to reflect on their surroundings. The artist's use of chiaroscuro adds depth and dimension to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures. Next, look at the work of artist Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta.
Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta (24 July 1841 – 15 September 1920) was a Spanish painter from the Madrazo family of artists who worked in the Realistic style, although his later work shows signs of Rococo and Japanese influence.
