EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Games on Ice, 1855" by William Matthew Prior. Painted with oil on canvas, this masterpiece measures 43.2x63.5 cm and is housed in the prestigious Shelburne Museum in Vermont, USA. The painting depicts a picturesque wintry scene where skaters gather on a frozen lake for leisurely games and activities. The rural landscape is covered in a thick blanket of snow, creating an enchanting backdrop for the lively scene unfolding before our eyes. Amidst charming houses dotting the snowy terrain, skaters gracefully glide across the icy surface of the lake. Laughter fills the air as they engage in various games and playful competitions. The vibrant energy emanating from this winter wonderland is palpable through Prior's skilled brushwork. The artist expertly captures both the beauty of nature and human joy in this serene setting. Each stroke brings to life not only the icy expanse but also every intricate detail of each building and skater present. Through this remarkable piece, viewers are transported to a simpler time when communities would come together to enjoy outdoor activities during long winter months. It serves as a reminder of how even amidst freezing temperatures, warmth can be found through shared experiences and camaraderie. This print allows us to appreciate Prior's talent while bringing home a touch of nostalgia for those who yearn for idyllic wintry scenes filled with laughter and merriment.
