A Frozen Canal near the River Maas — Andreas Schelfhout

Andreas Schelfhout. Painted 1867.

This winter landscape presents a typically Dutch river scene: a panoramic, tranquil world almost devoid of colour. The activity on the ice creates a cheerful accent. Schelfhout specialized in this genre. His frozen winter scenes, which allude to the 17th century, were extremely popular. They were even called ‘little Schelfhouts’.

From the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Currently on display in Main building, 19th Century, Romanticism in the Netherlands.
