About the piece

Painted around 1650 by Willem Schellinks, this work captures the atmospheric chill of a Dutch winter. Figures on foot and with pack animals cross the ice, dwarfed by the massive stone fortifications and a weathered stone bridge. The composition is anchored by a brilliant break in the dark, heavy clouds, casting a luminous glow over the wintry scene.
