EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time from the winter of 1649, showcasing the joyous activity of ice skating in the enchanting town-moat of Brussels. Painted by Robert van den Hoecke, this fine art masterpiece now resides within the esteemed Collection of Art History Museum in Vienne. The scene depicts a small town transformed into a winter wonderland, with its castle standing majestically amidst a landscape blanketed by snow. The frozen moat becomes an impromptu skating rink for both young and old alike, as skaters gracefully glide across its icy surface. Their vibrant attire adds splashes of color against the serene white backdrop. Van den Hoecke expertly captures not only the physicality but also the spirit of this beloved winter sport. The sheer delight on each skater's face is palpable as they revel in their graceful movements upon nature's temporary stage. This image transports us back to simpler times when communities would come together to celebrate life's simple pleasures amidst nature's beauty.
