The Assumption is celebrated throughout Spain, but especially in Elche (province of Alicante) and La Alberca (province of Salamanca).
History
La Alberca was the first rural village in Spain to be classified as a national historic monument. A journey through its historic center reveals the traditional imprint of its streets and houses, built several centuries ago.

August 15 is a public holiday throughout Spain. This date was chosen by the Church to celebrate the ascension into heaven of the Virgin Mary. This festival therefore finds its origins in the first centuries of Western Christianity.

Charles-Jean Bisschops, born in 1894 in Liège, died in 1975 in Rossignol in Luxembourg.
Belgian school.
Was a student of Jean Deville and Constant Montald at the Brussels academy.
From 1920, he made numerous trips, notably to Spain, which is where he certainly painted these paintings.
In the painting, we find all the sunshine of Spain, in fact, the heat is palpable, the light floods the painting, the dancing villagers lead us into their farandole, their joy is communicative, we hear the music, we are is really. This painting is a remedy for gloom.
Provenance: Belgian private collection, from a series acquired directly from the artist
