EDITORS COMMENTS
Enjoying the Ice" is a captivating oil on panel painting by the renowned Dutch artist Hendrick Avercamp, created between 1615 and 1620. This masterpiece, a testament to the Dutch Golden Age, offers a unique and enchanting glimpse into the past. Set against a frozen winter landscape, the painting presents an aerial view of a bustling community engaged in various icy pastimes. At the heart of the scene, a river meanders through the landscape, its surface transformed into a vast expanse of smooth ice. The tranquil water reflects the vibrant colors and rich hues of the surrounding scene. In the foreground, a group of men and women, dressed in seventeenth-century attire, are seen enjoying the winter sports. Some are ice skating, their blades glinting in the sunlight, while others are playing games or simply relaxing on the ice. Children, bundled up against the cold, are seen playing nearby, their laughter adding to the lively atmosphere. Buildings and windmills, their exteriors adorned with banners and flags, rise up from the icy landscape, adding a sense of community and regionalism to the scene. The elevated view offers a panoramic perspective, inviting the viewer to take in the entirety of the scene and appreciate the simple pleasures of rural life during this period. This painting, also known as "The Mute of Kampen" or "De Stomme van Kampen," is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Low Countries during the Dutch Golden Age. A true masterpiece, "Enjoying the Ice" is now a cherished part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
