EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the winter of 1649 in Brussels, Belgium. The artwork, titled "Ice Skating on the Stadtgraben in Brussels" was skillfully painted by Flemish artist Robert van den Hoecke. Measuring 58x92 cm, this panel is now housed at the prestigious Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. The scene depicted is truly enchanting - a frozen canal known as the Stadtgraben serves as a playground for locals who have taken to ice skating and tobogganing. The landscape is blanketed with glistening snow, creating a picturesque winter wonderland that captures both the beauty and joy of this season. Van den Hoecke's attention to detail is evident throughout the painting; each figure on skates or sleds appears lively and full of movement. The artist masterfully captures not only their physical actions but also their expressions of delight and excitement. As we gaze upon this timeless image, we are reminded of how people from centuries ago found solace and amusement during cold winters. It serves as a reminder that despite technological advancements over time, some joys remain universal – like gliding across an icy surface or feeling the thrill of speeding down a snowy slope. Thanks to Fine Art Finder and www. bridgemanart. com for preserving this remarkable piece of history for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its charm and significance today.
