"Hobby Horse: A Timeless Delight in Art and Play" Step into the world of hobby horses, where imagination takes flight and joy knows no bounds. From a new kind of derby captured in a vibrant colour lithograph to the enchanting Zwierzyniec Hobby-Horse by Hipolit Lipinski, these artistic masterpieces transport us to a realm where childhood dreams come alive. Dating back centuries, the hobby horse has been an enduring symbol of playfulness and adventure. In late 13th-15th century palace gardens, children frolicked with their beloved hobby horses, creating memories that would last a lifetime. The spirit of this timeless toy continued to captivate artists throughout history. George Spencer Watson's charming depiction from 1915 showcases the enduring allure of the hobby horse. Its whimsical presence evokes nostalgia for simpler times when innocence reigned supreme. Meanwhile, the dandy horse from c1818 reminds us of its early origins as a precursor to bicycles—a testament to human ingenuity and our unyielding desire for exploration. The universality of the hobby horse is evident across cultures and continents. Whether it be through Torii Kiyomitsu's captivating portrayal of The Harugoma Dance or Suzuki Harunobu's exquisite prints from 1767/68, we witness how this cherished toy transcends borders and brings people together in celebration. As we delve deeper into these artworks, we are reminded that beyond brushstrokes lie stories waiting to be told—stories filled with laughter, wonderment, and boundless imagination. The arrival of Peter Pan on his trusty steed immortalized in a colourful lithograph transports us straight into J. M Barrie's magical world—a place where anything is possible if you just believe. In every stroke and etching dedicated to capturing the essence of the hobby horse lies an invitation—to embrace our inner child once more.
