Aert Van Der Neer Frozen River Ligated Monogrammed Lower Left Golfers Ice Skaters
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to a winter wonderland in the 17th century. Depicting two towns nestled along a frozen river, this exquisite artwork showcases the harmonious coexistence of different recreational activities during colder months. Intriguingly, amidst the icy landscape, we witness golfers and ice skaters engaged in their respective pastimes. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident as each figure comes to life on the canvas. Aert van der Neer, a renowned Dutch painter from Amsterdam, skillfully captures the essence of this frozen scene with his masterful brushstrokes. The serene atmosphere created by Van der Neer draws us into this enchanting tableau. As we gaze upon this piece, it becomes apparent that time stands still within its frame. The monogrammed initials "AV" and "DN" elegantly ligated together, serve as an enduring testament to Van der Neer's authorship. Measuring 40.1 x 53.9 cm and executed on oak using oil paints, this artwork exudes both grandeur and intimacy simultaneously. Its historical significance lies not only in its portrayal of leisure activities but also in providing us with a glimpse into daily life during the Baroque period. As we admire this remarkable print from the Liszt Collection, let our imagination wander through time while appreciating how art can capture fleeting moments forever etched onto canvas for generations to come.
