Artistic Representation
One of the most famous zarzuela (Spanish operetta) pieces in the género chico ("smaller genre") is La Verbena de la Paloma ("The Fair of the Dove") set at a verbena on the night of the Virgin of the Paloma, August 14 ; it was also made into a 1963 movie.
There is also a 1939 film called Verbena Tragica ( also known as Tragic Festival).
The song Verbena de San Cayetano celebrates a verbena in Madrid.

Famous quotes containing the word artistic:
“To “give style” to one’s character—a rare and noble art! Those practice it who compass all that their natures present as strengths and weaknesses and then fit them into an artistic plan until every one appears as art and reason and even weakness enchants the eye.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
