Description
These works tend to feature a relatively high point of view with a frozen river meandering back into a landscape with overlapping forms in the lower corners of the design. Anecdotal details of rural and village life enliven the landscape. As suggested, some of these works, such as the panel of 1575 in the Szepmuveszeti Museum in Budapest, form part of an allegorical representation of the Seasons, but most are independent compositions.

Notes

The present composition, as usual with Grimmer, owes its genesis to the overall design of Pieter Bruegel's Winter Landscape with a Bird-Trap (Private Collection), and in details to his famous Hunters in the Snow of 1565 (Vienna, Kunsthistoriches Museum). Although infelicities of scale (note the improbably tall ladies before the houses on the left bank) still persist in the present work, its spatial coherence is more sophisticated and consistent than that of the many Bruegel copyists and the legions of derivative painters who make up the lesser ranks of the so-called Bruegel Dynasty. Within Grimmer's oeuvre it closely resembles several undated winter scenes. The influence of the present painting and Jacob's similar winter scenes on Abel Grimmer is well illustrated in the latter's winter landscape of 1607 in the Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten, Antwerp.

The attribution of the present work has been much debated. Owing to an old but specious inscription in the lower right, it was attributed to Pieter Brueghel the Younger when it was sold in 1971, 1972 and 1997. In the interim it was rightly assigned to Jacob Grimmer when sold in 1987, but as recently as 16 April 1999 when it was sold again, it carried a more generalised attribution to "School of Antwerp, circa 1600 (?)"
