About this work

This painting shows a serene winter scene. In the foreground, a frozen river stretches across the canvas, with a tower standing sentinel on its banks. The river is dotted with people and animals, while in the distance, a city and snow-capped mountains rise up. The artist has used a range of techniques to create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The use of chiaroscuro, with strong contrasts between light and dark, adds to the sense of drama and tension. The impasto technique, where paint is applied thickly to the canvas, gives the painting a textured, almost three-dimensional quality. The painting is held at the Statens Museum for Kunst.
