I recently visited San Francisco's Palace of the Legion of Honor museum. Though originally intended to display works of art from France, the Legion of Honor now houses what was the fine art collection of Golden Gate Park's De Young Museum. I was surprised and fascinated to see this work by José Jiménez y Aranda, "Holy Week in Seville, 1879." This is a painted cuadro de costumbres if there ever was one. I am intrigued to find out more about JJyA.
