About the piece

Painted in 1617 by Gijsbrecht Leytens, this oil on copper work captures the biting chill of a Flemish winter. The composition is dominated by a sprawling, intricate tree coated in sparkling frost, under which a small group of travelers finds warmth. Leytens was renowned for his 'winterscapes', and his ability to render the fragile texture of ice and the heavy atmosphere of a cloudy winter day makes this a compelling piece of historical landscape art.
