EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection captures a scene of winter entertainment on ice. In the foreground, amidst the glistening frozen surface, we see a group of skaters gracefully gliding across the ice. Their movements are fluid and elegant, showcasing their skill in this beloved winter sport. As our gaze extends towards the distance, we catch sight of charming buildings and windmills that dot the landscape. These architectural marvels add a touch of whimsy to the wintry scene, creating a picturesque backdrop for this icy playground. However, what truly sets this image apart is its unique inclusion of everyday human activities. On the left side, discreetly nestled against trees, figures engage in an unexpected act – relieving themselves. This unconventional element adds an intriguing layer to the composition as it challenges societal norms and explores themes of nature's call even in seemingly idyllic settings. In addition to these figures, there is also a mischievous dog caught mid-action as it relieves itself right at our feet. This playful detail injects humor into an otherwise serene tableau. Part of a series representing all four seasons by Adriaen Pietersz van de Venne in 1625, this particular artwork symbolizes winter through its depiction of skates and snowy landscapes. The artist's use of oil paint on panel brings depth and richness to every brushstroke captured within this small yet impactful piece
