EDITORS COMMENTS
This winter scene transports us to a bygone era, where skaters glide gracefully across a frozen river amidst the picturesque Dutch countryside. Painted by Jan Griffier the Elder in the late 17th century, this oil on copper print captures the essence of leisure and enjoyment during the Dutch Golden Age. The composition is filled with delightful details that bring this wintry landscape to life. A charming village nestled among rolling hills serves as a backdrop, while a majestic church stands tall against the snowy horizon. Skaters of all ages can be seen relishing in their favorite pastime, their colorful attire contrasting beautifully against the white canvas of ice and snow. In addition to skating, other forms of entertainment are also depicted. People sled down gentle slopes on wooden sledges, adding an element of excitement to this serene setting. Boats rest idly along the riverbank, waiting for warmer days when they can once again navigate these waters. This painting not only showcases nature's beauty but also provides insight into Dutch culture and traditions during this period. It reminds us of simpler times when people found joy in simple pleasures like skating and spending time outdoors with loved ones. Now preserved at Stockholm's Hallwyl Museum, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and evocative depiction of winter wonderland scenes from centuries ago.
