Crowned cranes
Painting by Lana Korolievskaia
80 x 60 cm • Canvas, Oil
One of a kind
The crowned crane is a bird symbolizing love and fidelity. If you want your marriage to be strong and unbreakable, then this picture is for you. Many ancient legends tell about the wonderful properties of this sophisticated bird. So, for example, in ancient mythology, the crane was a companion of the god Apollo as a spring sun bird. The god Hermes, patronizing travelers, also had a crane as a companion. Because of his powerful wings that never know fatigue. In the service of the goddess Demeter, the crane foreshadowed a rich harvest. Among the ancient peoples of Europe and Asia, the arrival of cranes to their lands was considered a good sign, also promising a bountiful harvest and favorable events in people's lives. There is a myth that Hermes was inspired by the flight of a crane wedge, inventing the alphabet. In the countries of the East, especially in China and Japan, it is a symbol of health, longevity, wisdom, prosperity, high position, nobility and justice, and is also considered a talisman of good luck.
