""scene Of Sliding On A Frozen Lake" 19th Century Flemish School, Oil On Canvas"
In the taste of Flemish painters, who, from the 16th century, featured skaters in their works, this very lively scene of villagers around a milkmaid falling and spilling her milk on the frozen water, tends to spread the idea, since the Middle Ages, that freezing temperatures were the work of the devil. It became a genre in its own right from the 1560s, the exceptionally harsh winters having frozen rivers, ponds and lakes for weeks. Dimensions 79 x 58 cm, some missing items
