Louis Bosa

My Family Reunion
1950

A vibrant and busy painting depicting a surreal village scene with various activities occurring simultaneously. In the foreground, a person in a blue apron and face paint holds a plate with a pig's head, while a group of people dine at a table. A colorful boat with masked figures floats on a small pond, and animals such as pigs and geese roam freely. The background features rustic buildings with large religious murals, and villagers engage in various tasks. The sky is overcast, suggesting an impending storm or the end of the day. The artwork is signed "L. Bosch 1950" in the bottom left corner.
