"Winterlandschap met een dorpsgezicht" (Winter Landscape with a Village View) is a 17th-century etching by Dutch artist Matthieu van Plattenberg. The print showcases a picturesque winter scene with a frozen river winding through a snow-covered landscape. The composition, dominated by bare trees and a village in the distance, emphasizes the tranquility of the season. This etching is a fine example of van Plattenberg's mastery of line and detail, creating a sense of depth and realism in the winter scene. The figures in the foreground add a sense of scale and human activity to the composition, providing a subtle reminder of the presence of life amidst the cold landscape.
