I’m thinking of ordering a canvas print of this painting called “Procession in the Fog” by the German artist Ernst Ferdinand Oehme, whom I had never heard of. He painted it in 1828. I’m not sure what it’s supposed to be. In some ways it looks like a funeral procession, but if it is, why does everyone appear to be wearing long, hooded black robes? Any ideas? I’m asking because it costs more than $300 plus I’ll have to pay another couple of hundred (at least) to have it framed. I want to be sure it’s something I will enjoy looking at for years to come. I’ve ordered other paintings, sight unseen, except online, and they looked different after I got them and I ended up hanging them in an extra bedroom or some other place where they are seldom seen.

Oehme did a lot of paintings of monasteries and gothic architecture, so it’s probably a procession of monks or nuns.

It's not something I would want to look at every day, but if you like spooky things, it certainly has an air of mystery about it.
