Presumed View of an Amsterdam Gate in Winter, 1622 - A Glimpse into the Chilly Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the frosty winter of 1622 in Amsterdam. Painted by Abrahamsz Beerstraten, a renowned Dutch artist of the seventeenth century, this piece beautifully captures a presumed view of one of Amsterdam's gates during this wintry season. The scene is set against a cloudy sky, with buildings and windmills dotting the landscape. The entire city seems to be covered in a pristine blanket of snow and ice, creating a serene and magical atmosphere. In the foreground, we see people engaged in their pastimes on frozen canals - ice skating being particularly popular. A swing bridge connects two sides of the canal while footbridges serve as boundaries between different parts of the city. The gate itself stands tall and imposing, its entrance guarded by icy structures that seem almost threatening under these freezing conditions. Beerstraten's use of color brings life to this wintry scene; shades ranging from whites and blues to hints of warm hues create contrast against the cold backdrop. His attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only architectural elements but also conveying energy through his portrayal. This remarkable artwork offers us a glimpse into life during this period - where transportation relied heavily on waterways frozen solid for travel. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation that transports us back four centuries ago when winters were harsh
