Winter Landscape with a Bird Trap, Pieter Brueghel the Elder, 1601

Around 100 copies speak for the extraordinary popularity of this composition by pieter bruegel the elder. It has been suggested that the unusually harsh winter of 1564/65 may have been the trigger for bruegel's two-time engagement with the theme of the winter landscape. The bird trap (right) and the ice skaters were given proverbial or moralizing hidden meanings (admonition to be vigilant, slippery path of life), but without convincing evidence. This copy is considered to be one of the oldest and highest quality examples. Object Type: painting. Genre: landscape painting. Date: 1601. Dimensions: height: 39 cm (15.3 in); width: 57 cm (22.4 in). Medium: oil on oak wood. Collection: Kunsthistorisches Museum. Circle of Pieter Bruegel the Elder - Winter Landscape with a Bird Trap
