Huisjes en bevroren rivier

1629

Step into a chilly Dutch winter from 1629! Esaias van de Velde captures a cozy moment where rustic thatched cottages huddle against the cold, while villagers brave the frozen river for a skate or a stroll. As a pioneer of the Dutch Golden Age landscape, Van de Velde helped shift art from fantasy worlds to realistic, everyday scenes. These winter wonderlands were incredibly popular during the 'Little Ice Age' because canals in the Netherlands actually froze solid, turning into giant natural ice rinks for the whole community to enjoy.
