Although there’s no snow, the grey clouds threaten and there is a feeling of bone-chilling cold. The old cottage on top of the bank is ramshackle and touched with frost, its roof hardly robust enough to keep out the weather. And yet the overall impression of this painting is far from depressing.\n\nIt was painted in the 1640s, at the beginning of the Little Ice Age when, in the winters, Europe froze to a degree unknown before and the poor people of the countryside knew hardship and poverty. It’s as if van Ostade is celebrating the endurance of the Dutch people, but also faith in the return of spring. Such sentiments would have appealed to an urban collector comfortable in his warm house, and they were portrayed with a realism that any owner would have appreciated and found entertaining.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/isack-van-ostade-a-winter-scene\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - A Winter Scene\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Isack van Ostade","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509671891187,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (19 1\/4\" x 15 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509671923955,"sku":null,"price":667.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (19 3\/4\" x 16 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509671956723,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24 1\/4\" x 19 7\/8\")","offer_id":50509671989491,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (29 5\/8\" x 24 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509672022259,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (38 1\/4\" x 31 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509672055027,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (46\" x 37 5\/8\")","offer_id":50509672087795,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (54 1\/8\" x 44 3\/8\")","offer_id":50509672120563,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (65\" x 53 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509672153331,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/AWinterScene.jpg?v=1789254282","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/a-winter-scene-ngal825","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
