EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of winter in 17th century Holland. Titled "Winter (Amusement on the Ice), 1625" this oil painting by Adriaen Pietersz. van de Venne depicts a scene of leisure and merriment on a frozen lake. In the foreground, we see figures engaged in various activities, from ice skating to walking their dogs. The frozen landscape is dotted with windmills and quaint Dutch buildings, adding to the charm of the setting. This artwork is part of a series representing all four seasons, showcasing the artist's ability to capture different aspects of life throughout the year. The composition not only showcases scenes from everyday life but also carries satirical undertones that were common during the Dutch Golden Age. It subtly comments on societal divisions as wealthy individuals can be seen mingling with peasants while enjoying their shared love for ice skating. Measuring at just 14.6x37.1 cm, this small yet powerful artwork transports us back in time to experience winter in all its glory. Preserved at Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, this piece serves as a testament to Van de Venne's skillful portrayal of Dutch culture and his contribution to art history during one of its most prosperous periods – The Golden Age.
