hutsuls in polish paintings

my dad found these paintings on artyzm dot com and i thought it would be interesting to show you some representations of the hutsuls in art. all these are polish painters.

territories inhabited by hutsuls were included some times in poland, last time in the interwar period, when the land of the hutsuls (hutsulschyna) was divided between poland (pokuttya), czechoslovakia (transcarpathia and northern maramures) and romania (bucovina and southern maramures). the hutsuls live there where these regions meet.


juliusz kossak - hutsuls on their way to the market (1860)


waclaw szymanowski - courtship / umizgi huculskie (1892)


wladyslaw szerner - going to the wedding


teodor axentowicz - hutsul funeral / pogrzeb huculski

i like the one with the young man and the girl. it shows that hutsuls are not only the hard working mountaineers. we're not only museum pieces ;))
