Description: | This painting is one of a group of four panels of the same size, probably by the same artist. They were once set into the wall panelling of a country house; however, it is unlikely they were painted for that purpose. The palette and composition, the architecture of the buildings, the people's costume and the context of the winter fair are Dutch and Flemish in character. The figures enact an intriguing variety of activities. While some skate, on the left is a group of performing acrobats. To the right a procession of ornately decorated horses draw sleighs across the ice. | Subjects: | landscape; everyday life; figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Caullery, Louis de (Flemish painter, before 1582-after 1621) Æ Attributed to circle of Attributed to circle of Toeput, Lodewijk (Flemish painter and printmaker, ca. 1550-ca. 1605, active in Italy) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8876... | Go to resource |
