Ukrainian folk art "Cossack on horseback" an oil painting by Sergiy Tanadaichuk. This vibrant artwork captures the essence of Ukraine's rich cultural heritage and the artist's unique visionary style.

This isn't about the music this time (though the song is beautiful as well ;)), but about the artwork shown during the video: Does anyone happen to know the artist or title of the last painting (from 9:04 onwards)? I've been trying to find it online, but without anything more specific to search for than "Cossack art" or "Cossack painting" in different languages, I've not been successful so far.

Also very interesting - the painting of Khmelnytsky by Artur Orlenov (Артур Орленов) which becomes fully visible at about 3:53.

As it's by the same artist who has painted Bohun at least once (but maybe also in his painting of the battle at Berestechko), I can't help thinking that the Cossack to the right behind Khmelnytsky might be Bohun...

Zygmunt Madejewski (died before 1887 in Lviv)

In 1884-1885, this very little known Polish artist originating from Lviv made a series of drawings depicting characters of Henryk Sienkiewicz's novel "With Fire and Sword" ("Ogniem i mieczem") for the Polish literary-cultural journal "Ognisko Domowe", which was being published in Lwów (Львів). They were reprinted later also in the separate album in Lviv in 1885 (tintype, 26 cm X 20.5 cm).

Finally, I have found and collected all of them (some of them have never been published before). In the first line our beloved boys: Skrzetuski and Bohun, lower: Helena Kurcewiczówna, kniahini Kurcewiczowa, Rzędzian, Michał J. Wołodyjowski, Jan Onufry Zagłoba, Bohdan Chmielnicki, Longinus Podbipięta and Jeremi Wiśniowiecki.

Little pencil sketch of the Ukrainian Cossack Colonel from the mid-17th century as imagined by Theophan-o. Maybe, not 100% historically accurate and - yes, I admit, I love to draw slim and graceful Cossack Princesses, but here interestingly the reverence picture was some vintage photograph of a real MALE warrior from the Eastern Europe 💜
