Description: Petrica Kerempuh is the main character in poems by famous Croatian author Miroslav Krleza. Although Krleza's lyric poetry is held in high regard, by common critical consensus his greatest poetic work is Balade Petrice Kerempuha (Ballads of Petrica Kerempuh), a visionary compendium of Golgotha Croatica, spanning more than five centuries and centred around the figure of plebeian prophet Petrica Kerempuh, a sort of Croatian Till Eulenspiegel. This sombre and highly complex multilayered poem evoking reminiscences on Bruegel and Bosch paintings, written in a unique hybrid language based on Croatian kajkavian dialect interspersed with Latin, German, Hungarian and archaic Croatian highly stylised idiom, irradiates universal dark verities on human condition epitomized in Croatian historical experience..

A monument to the Petrica Kerempuh (as seen in wallpaper) was sculpted in 1956 by sculptor Vanja Radaus and can be seen above Dolac Marketplace in Zagreb, Croatia.
