EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases Hipolit Lipinski's masterpiece, "Zwierzyniec Hobby-Horse," painted around the year 1881. Lipinski, a Polish painter born in 1846, brilliantly captured the essence of Polish folklore and tradition in this evocative painting, which is now housed in the 19th Century Polish Art Gallery (Sukiennice Museum) of the National Museum in Krakow, Poland. The painting portrays the Lajkonik, a hobby horse, which is a significant symbol of Krakow's medieval history. The horse, adorned with colorful ribbons and decorations, stands on a balcony of a wooden house, overlooking a bustling city scene. A multitude of people, dressed in traditional clothing, gather below to commemorate this ancient tradition. The horse is being led in a procession, accompanied by a group of dancers who perform a lively dance, adding to the festive atmosphere. The painting transports us back to a time long past, when European societies celebrated their rich cultural heritage with such vibrant and joyful ceremonies. The intricate details of the building's balustrade, the wooden horse, and the people's clothing all contribute to the authenticity of the scene. The painting is a testament to the enduring power of tradition and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity that exists within the European folklore and the importance of passing these traditions down from generation to generation.
