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:
“Life! Life! Don’t let us go to life for our fulfilment or our experience. It is a thing narrowed by circumstances, incoherent in its utterance, and without that fine correspondence of form and spirit which is the only thing that can satisfy the artistic and critical temperament. It makes us pay too high a price for its wares, and we purchase the meanest of its secrets at a cost that is monstrous and infinite.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
