If in Celebration on Earth the celebration takes place on the human plane, here it shifts to the spiritual realm. Around the saint are not people but horses—figures that, in the artist’s poetics, represent mediators between worlds, bearers of ancestry and mystery.

The painting also dialogues with the oral narrative according to which, in the moment following the saint’s rescue, some congadeiros, upon rising from their prayers, realize that a woman is present among them in the celebration—a manifestation understood as Our Lady of the Rosary celebrating among the people.

The composition resonates with the tradition of classical and Renaissance painting, evoking scenes of ascension and celestial movement. Among the references is Raphael’s The Fall of the Rebel Angels, which inspires the circular dynamism and spatial organization of the scene.
