Hunters in the Snow, 1565

Pieter Bruegel the Elder

Oil paint on panel · 117 x 162 cm

Weary hunters trudge home over a village frozen into stillness below.

Weary hunters and their dogs trudge home over a snowy ridge above skaters on frozen ponds. Bruegel's 1565 winter scene, with its cold green sky and sweeping view, is one of the founding images of Western landscape — and of Christmas itself.
