EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the joyous celebration of Easter Monday in a Polish village. The scene depicts peasants frolicking and engaging in an ancient custom known as "Smigus". As women and girls dressed in traditional attire gather together, laughter fills the air. The vibrant colors of their dresses stand out against the backdrop of a quaint village, adding to the festive atmosphere. Playful water fights ensue, with buckets and pails being used as weapons of delight. Laughter echoes through the streets as everyone eagerly participates in this cherished tradition. The artist, C. T. Jankowski, skillfully brings this lively scene to life with intricate details and expressive figures. Each character exudes happiness and excitement, capturing the essence of this unique cultural celebration. Dating back centuries, Smigus is a slightly barbaric yet beloved custom that symbolizes cleansing and renewal after winter's end. It is believed that getting soaked during these water fights will bring good luck for the upcoming year. This lithograph serves as a window into Poland's rich heritage and showcases how its people embrace their traditions with enthusiasm and merriment. It reminds us of the importance of celebrating our cultural roots while fostering unity within communities. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported to a time when simple joys brought people together on Easter Monday in Poland—a reminder that even amidst changing times, some customs remain timeless treasures worth preserving.
