EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a timeless scene from the past, "Skaters on the Seine in 1608". Painted by an anonymous artist from the Flemish School in the 17th century, this oil on canvas masterpiece now resides at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France. The image showcases a frozen river as skaters gracefully glide across its icy surface. The composition exudes a sense of joy and camaraderie as individuals engage in various winter activities. Some are engaged in friendly games of hockey while others leisurely skate hand-in-hand. The atmosphere is filled with laughter and excitement against the backdrop of a serene winter landscape. The painting not only serves as an artistic representation but also offers us glimpses into historical practices and traditions. It transports us back to a time when skating on frozen rivers was not just recreational but also served as means of transportation during harsh winters. Through this photo print, we can appreciate both the beauty of nature's transformation during winter and human resilience in adapting to their surroundings. It reminds us that despite our modern advancements, some pleasures remain timeless throughout history.
