About this work

A large outdoor religious service takes place in a mountain valley, with a priest elevating the host at an altar draped in white and adorned with flowers and drums. Kneeling soldiers in dark uniforms and red caps, along with robed figures in white and yellow, surround the altar while incense smoke rises beside a wooden cross, and a military encampment of tents spreads across the valley below. The work is attributed to Horace Vernet.
