EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Winter landscape with figures skating on a frozen body of water in a roundel composition; a church and trees in the foreground; a bridge, churches, and windmills beyond" transports us back to the 17th century. Created by Flemish artist Matthijs van Plattenberg, this exquisite etching captures the essence of winter leisure. The scene depicts a serene countryside covered in icy splendor. In the foreground, we see an enchanting church nestled among towering trees. The frozen body of water takes center stage as figures gracefully glide across its surface, indulging in the timeless pastime of ice skating. Their elegant movements create delicate patterns upon the ice. Beyond the bridge that spans over this wintry wonderland lie more churches and windmills, adding to the picturesque charm of this rural setting. The monochromatic palette enhances the sense of tranquility and serenity that permeates throughout. Van Plattenberg's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his etching technique. This artwork not only showcases nature's beauty during winter but also invites viewers to appreciate moments of leisure amidst cold temperatures. Housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece from Flanders serves as a testament to Van Plattenberg's skillful craftsmanship and his ability to capture both natural landscapes and human activities with equal grace. It stands as an enduring reminder that even amidst freezing temperatures, joy can be found through simple pleasures like gliding on ice
