About the piece
Painted in 1653, Jan van de Cappelle’s winter landscape showcases the atmospheric mastery of the Dutch Golden Age. Figures dot the frozen canal, engaged in the traditional game of kolf and skating, while the vast, silver-grey sky creates a sense of immense space and quiet cold typical of 17th-century Netherlandish art.
