EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating etching "Winter, 1641" by Wenceslaus Hollar transports us back to a frosty scene from the 17th century. This exquisite print is part of a series featuring four female figures symbolizing the changing seasons. In this particular artwork, we witness the embodiment of winter through the carefully depicted dress and objects on the windowsill. As we gaze upon this image, we are immediately struck by the sense of coldness conveyed by the fur garments adorning the figure. A luxurious tippet and muff made from sable provide both warmth and elegance to her ensemble. The half mask and domino she wears add an air of mystery to her appearance, while a hood protects her head from biting winds. The attention to detail in capturing fashion trends of that era is remarkable. The three-quarter length portrayal showcases not only hiems (the Latin word for winter) but also fashionable attire worn during this season centuries ago. Accompanying this stunning visual representation are verses or poems that further enhance our understanding of winter's essence as perceived by Hollar. Though their content remains unknown without closer examination, they undoubtedly contribute to creating an immersive experience for viewers. This exceptional piece now resides in a private collection but continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
