Burial of Fortuny is a 1874 oil by Ramón Tusquets Maignon, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
This painting shows a funeral procession in a narrow street. The crowd is dressed in dark, somber clothing, and they're walking between two stone walls. In the background, there's a castle or fort on a hill. The painting has a gloomy, overcast sky with thick grey clouds. The artist used dark colors to create a somber mood, which fits the funeral scene. Look up Ramón Tusquets Maignon next.
Raimondo or Ramón Tusquets y Maignon (Barcelona, 1837 - Rome, 11 March 1904) was an Italian-Spanish painter, known for his eclectic subjects, ranging from orientalist themes, historical compositions to genre scenes of the countryside in Campania.
