Description: | Aert van der Neer specialised in painting scenes illuminated by the rising sun, or nocturnes with figures and buildings picked out by moonlight. This large landscape depicts a typical Dutch village at twilight with figures on a frozen river engaged in various activities including a game of hockey. This painting, like most of the artist's work, is an idealised view of a town with two windmills in the middle distance, though van der Neer often included recognisable buildings in his pictures. | Subjects: | animal (dog); figure; townscape; landscape; everyday life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Neer, Aert van der (Dutch painter, 1603-1677) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8551... | Go to resource |
