Winter 1563

"Winter" is an engraving by Philips Galle, created in 1563. This print depicts the personification of Winter, a bearded man dressed in a heavy fur-lined robe, standing on a frozen river. The scene includes people ice skating and other winter activities, while the man is portrayed with a sense of power and authority. This artwork, now located in the Rijksmuseum, reflects the artistic trends of the 16th century and provides a glimpse into the daily life of people during winter.
