Falada,

Horse History

Once upon a time…

…The Princess horse could speak and it’s name was Falada…

…Oh! If your mother would know,

Her heart would break!…

…Oh! You, head of Falada,

That’s from my door is hanging…

And the head answer:

Oh! From you, dear princess

Today you are a servant.

If your mother would know,

Her heart would break

…when the sentence was fulfilled, the Prince married the true princess and together they ruled the kingdom in peace and happiness…

The iconography of the horse, from 2000 years  represented by the greatest artists of history, strong images that leave an impalpable tissue in my being …
