Product Description
The widescale historic painting “Horovod” (a roundelay) puts us into the ambience of the folk festival devoted to one of the rare Summer peasant holidays. Young girls are circling in a joyful dance. Flying bright dresses, white shirts and red sarafans, spots of sunshine playing on the greenery and wide free brushstrokes give festive pulse to the painting.
Traditional festivals – noisy and cheerful, with dances and songs – like no other event in Russian peasant culture discovers the soul of the people: live and generous, cheerful and temerarious.
