[1] It is different from Khokhloma folk painting but holds some common traits, they are both very colorful and bright.Gorodets artists traditionally have painted genre scenes (including merrymaking, tea drinking, the famous Gorodets horse with a horseman, and folk festivities), decorative images of birds and animals (including roosters, horses, lions, and leopards), and flower patterns.[2] Nowadays Gorodets craftsmen use similar imagery and motifs in their works.These are decorative panels, caskets, boxes, various sets of kitchen stuff, such as hardboards, bread bins, saltcellars, children furniture and toys, including the most popular the painted rocking horse.The factory 'Gorodets Painting' has existed since 1965, and has an experimental laboratory where new motifs are devised, along with preserving the artistic tradition and style.
