EDITORS COMMENTS

The artwork, created by Jan Griffier the Elder in the late seventeenth century, showcases his mastery of capturing natural phenomena and human activity.

A group of skaters gracefully glides across the ice, their figures beautifully silhouetted against the wintry backdrop. In the foreground, a hunter stands poised with his rifle, adding an element of anticipation to the scene. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke as he skillfully depicts each individual figure and architectural feature. A windmill stands tall in Antwerp beyond the village, its sails motionless amidst the stillness of winter.

It is truly an immersive experience that invites viewers to imagine themselves within this enchanting landscape.
