Mensen op een besneeuwde vlakte 1940 - 1945

"Mensen op een besneeuwde vlakte" is an anonymous photograph of a group of people walking on a frozen lake in the Netherlands, likely taken between 1940 and 1945 during the Second World War. The image, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, captures a moment of daily life amidst the wartime hardships. The stark black and white composition reflects the somber mood of the era, while the figures in the distance, barely visible against the snowy landscape, evoke a sense of isolation and resilience. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human experience during a time of conflict.
