    “One of Ponce’s only attempts at
    panoramic compositions is Procesión
    (Procession), 1940’s. This impressive
    painting shows a devout procession from
    a certain distance, in a desolate and
    expansive landscape. Closer to the
    viewer, we see the backs of a group of
    female spectators kneeling and looking
    towards the long and seemingly slow
    caravan of hardly identifiable figures,
    who are carrying a devotional statue
    and other religious objects.”
