Castilian Pasos
The Pasos of Holy Week (massive sculpted scenes of the Passion carried in procession through our streets) have become the defining popular art of the Castilian Baroque. Sculptors such as Juan de Juni in Valladolid and Gregorio Fernández, working in polychrome wood, have raised the form to its peak in the early seventeenth century, producing figures so anatomically vivid that crowds weep at their passage. This processional culture binds the urban populace, the parish brotherhoods, and the Crown in a shared devotional spectacle that no Protestant nation can match.
