Nikolai Rerich. The Soul of a child is pure, tender and kind. The subject of children always attracted the artist. By revealing the children’s subject the artist immersed himself into his childhood memories and represented his most vivid childhood impressions in his canvases. The running of the horse personifies the fast passage of time that takes away the childhood. But the childhood years warm up the Soul all life long enabling it to stay soft and sensitive. Archintelligent God Tutan Shantaharad.
