EDITORS COMMENTS
In this winter scene captured by Nicolas Lancret in 1738, we are transported to a frozen pond where the joys of ice skating unfold. The oil on canvas painting, measuring 69x89 cm, now resides in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The artist skillfully depicts a bustling atmosphere as both male and female skaters gracefully glide across the icy surface. Their vibrant attire stands out against the wintry backdrop, with fur muffs and cloaks adding an element of warmth and luxury to their outfits. As our gaze wanders through the composition, we notice a fallen skater near a beautifully sculpted fountain. This unexpected moment adds an element of surprise and humor to the scene while showcasing Lancret's ability to capture human interaction with great detail. The overall ambiance is one of joyous activity amidst nature's frosty embrace. The frozen pond becomes a stage for laughter and camaraderie as individuals come together to enjoy this seasonal pastime. Lancret's "Winter, 1738" invites us into a world that existed centuries ago but still resonates today. It reminds us of the timeless pleasures found in embracing winter's chill and finding solace in shared experiences. Through his masterful brushstrokes, Lancret immortalizes this fleeting moment for generations to appreciate its beauty and celebrate life's simple pleasures.
