Winter scene with a sledge in the foreground and figures gathering round a tent on the ice, 1653 (oil on panel)
3900340 Winter scene with a sledge in the foreground and figures gathering round a tent on the ice, 1653 (oil on panel) by Goyen, Jan Josephsz van (1596-1656); 27.9x43.1 cm; Manchester Art Gallery, UK; (add.info.: This is a late work by Van Goyen, painted three years before his death. The artist, who was born in Leiden, but from c. 1632 worked chiefly in The Hague, was one of the leading exponents of the tonal phase of Dutch landscape painting, dating from the late 1620s or 1630s. In these works, variegated local colours and individual details were subordinated to a monochromatic colour scheme and broad handling in order to treat the landscape as a whole, giving it a unified atmosphere. By the 1650s, the relaxed mood of Van Goyen's earlier winter scenes had changed to one of bleakness and figures had become anonymous strugglers against the elements. Here the restricted palette of browns, greys and creams conveys well the icy chill of a winter afternoon, with pale yellowish light breaking through ominously heavy clouds and reflections glinting in the ice. The effect of veiled, shifting cloud is suggested by the use of thin paint, allowing the ground (base paint layer) to show through. These inexpensive colours could be mixed quickly and applied while the other paint layers were still wet, creating visible brushstrokes, as seen here in the sky. This lent the works an air of having perhaps been painted outdoors, but although van Goyen sketched in the open air, he painted in his studio. The figures muffled against the cold are engaged in fishing and trading, their bustling activity contrasting with the cold, still, bleak landscape.); © Manchester Art Gallery

EDITORS COMMENTS
This winter scene, captured in a 1653 oil on panel painting by Jan Josephsz van Goyen, transports viewers to a desolate icy landscape. The foreground showcases a sledge, drawing attention to the figures huddled around a tent on the frozen surface. This late work by Van Goyen reveals his mastery of tonal Dutch landscape painting. Born in Leiden and later based in The Hague, Van Goyen was renowned for his ability to create unified atmospheres through monochromatic color schemes and broad brushwork. In this piece, he employs a restricted palette of browns, greys, and creams that effectively conveys the bone-chilling coldness of a winter afternoon. Pale yellowish light breaks through ominously heavy clouds while reflections shimmer on the ice. The use of thin paint allows glimpses of the ground layer beneath, mimicking veiled shifting clouds. Although Van Goyen sketched outdoors, he painted these scenes within the comfort of his studio. The muffled figures engaged in fishing and trading provide contrast against the stillness and bleakness of their surroundings. Measuring 27.9x43.1 cm, this artwork is housed at Manchester Art Gallery in the UK. Its composition captures both beauty and harshness as it invites viewers into an immersive winter experience from centuries past.
