Adriaen Pietersz van de Venne (1625)

[python_regius]

This painting is one of a series of four. Each of the landscapes represents one of the four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. It is not immediately clear in all the paintings which season it is intended to represent. Apart from the picture of winter, of course, in which people are skating. Van de Venne integrated a number of jokes and anecdotes into the painting 'Winter'. For instance, the woman who has fallen over. Her skirt has flown up over her head through the fall, revealing her bare bottom. The man behind finds it all very amusing. It is amazing that this series is still complete. Sets such as this usually became separated and acquired by different collections.  www.rijskmuseum.nl/

Картина хорошо отражает особое бытие того времени. Одежда, замок, выражения лиц, цвета...Глядя на неё проникаешься настроением изображенных людей. Грустишь, радуешься одновременно.:) И это прекрасно!

Да, отображает. Особенно сцену на заднем плане, у дерева. ;)
