Winter Landscape, Holland, Barend Cornelis Koekkoek.
I love these Dutch genre paintings that show folks walking, playing, skating and otherwise engaging in business as usual, particularly on frozen waterways, in the dead of Winter.
In the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Click “Fullscreen” and zoom or download.

I really like the calm and peaceful feeling of this painting!
This blog is one that I follow almost on a daily basis. I admire most of the posts in silence, but now I just can’t resist making a comment. That’s Charlie Chaplin on skates in the last picture!
Thanks for a great blog!
