We are pleased to unveil the official poster for this year’s Procession of Verges, designed by renowned Catalan artist Assumpció Mateu. This work goes beyond a simple image—it is an artistic expression inspired by the iconic Dansa de la Mort (Dance of Death) of Verges, incorporating symbolic elements such as the clock without hands, the scythe, and the skeleton—key figures in this centuries-old tradition.
The poster stands out not only for its visual impact but also marks the beginning of a new chapter: the launch of the Verges Procession Poster Contest, open to artists from across Catalonia starting this autumn. Through this initiative, the Procession of Verges seeks to promote artistic creativity and strengthen ties with Catalan culture.
In addition, Assumpció Mateu has created 100 illuminated graphic prints, each numbered and signed, now available for collectors and art lovers. These exclusive pieces offer a unique opportunity to own a part of the history of the Procession of Verges—a tradition that blends faith, art, and culture.
The original work will remain in the village as a symbol of this special edition. If you wish to purchase one of these limited-edition prints, they are available at the Verges Visitor Centre. For more information or to place your order, call 972 78 09 74 or email info@laprocesso.cat.
Don’t miss this opportunity to own a signed piece by Assumpció Mateu that captures the soul of the Procession of Verges and its Dansa de la Mort.
