Description : Il drammatico corteo nuziale

Oil painting on canvas. Signed Parlaghy K. lower left. It is a copy (of almost identical size) of the large painting created in 1882 by the Hungarian painter János Jankó (1833 -1896), preserved in the National Gallery in Budapest. The large scene sees a wedding procession on the move, with the bride's carriage in the centre, all festively decorated, followed by the carriages with guests and instrumentalists; some soldiers on horseback accompany the procession, an escort of honor indicating that the groom is an important person. On the ground, on the left, lies the lifeless body of a young man that the bride desperately tries to reach, trying to throw herself off the wagon, but is immediately stopped by some soldiers of the escort: perhaps the woman, headed for an arranged marriage with a another man (as Hungarian tradition allowed for a long time), discovers the body of his true lover who, out of desperation, took his own life, as the gun he holds suggests. The painting is presented in a period frame.
