The gullible commemoration of the governor from Pieter Burger at artists24.net

In sight and experience of society's obsession with self-glorification, this painting refers to self-worship as the basis of modern idolatry. The title of "The gullible commemoration of the governor" hints at the egotism of the figure leading a festive procession to dramatically demonstrate the glorification of his rule. In this work, various groups are depicted where they attend the proceedings, like the figures in the left foreground, and the kneeling figures depicted with their hands in the air as praise
