Winter landscape, Barend Cornelis Koekkoek, 1835 - 1838 For this winter landscape, Koekkoek chose a rolling landscape in Gelderland or the German area of the Lower Rhine. In contrast to his imposing forest scenes, this is a calm scene, with men pausing by a sledge laden with spruce and vegetables. In the distance, we see a misty panorama. The painting depicts tranquil nature on a winter's day, a world covered in the purity of snow.Rijksmuseum Rights: CC0
