==In art== The maypole has also been featured in various cultural depictions, including magazine covers. For instance, the May 1, 1923, cover of ''Vanity Fair'', illustrated by Rockwell Kent, showcases a couple dancing around a maypole at a carnival.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Vanity Fair Cover Featuring A Couple Dancing by Rockwell Kent |url=https://condenaststore.com/featured/vanity-fair-cover-featuring-a-couple-dancing-rockwell-kent.html?srsltid=AfmBOorJrDNlGMEOAjLtlAWZPQEZkP7d4tM5FpDxyNS14Jc1sEzb0WKV |access-date=2024-12-20 |website=Conde Nast |language=en}}</ref> Similarly, ''The New Yorker'' has featured maypole imagery on its covers. The May 3, 1941, issue, with artwork by Ilonka Karasz, depicts a floral maypole scene, reflecting the seasonal celebration.<ref>{{Cite web |title=New Yorker magazine May 3 1941 maypole may pole flowers girls Karasz F |url=https://www.nybackissues.com/products/new-yorker-magazine-may-3-1941-maypole-may-pole-flowers-girls-karasz-fine |access-date=2024-12-20 |website=NYBackissues |language=en}}</ref> <gallery widths="160px" heights="160px"> File:St. George's Kermis with the Dance around the Maypole by Pieter Brueghel the Younger.jpg|Dance around the Maypole, by [[Pieter Brueghel the Younger]], 16th century File:Agostino Tassi - Competition on the Capitoline Hill - WGA22037.jpg|Maypole on the [[Capitoline Hill]] in [[Rome]], [[Agostino Tassi]], 1630 File:La cucaña.jpg|''La Cucaña (The Tree of Cockaigne or The Greased Climbing Pole)'', [[Francisco Goya]], 1786–87 File:Carl Millner Maibaumfest 1848.jpg|Maypole in [[Bavaria]], 1848 File:Frederick Goodall Raising the Maypole.jpg|Raising the maypole, [[Frederick Goodall]], 1855 </gallery>
