"Holland Frozen in Time is the first publication in a long time which offers an overview of this typically Dutch phenomenon. In addition to elucidating the art-historical aspects, this catalogue treats various winter pleasures engaged in on the ice, the role played by winter in seventeenth-century literature, and of course the climatic conditions prevailing at that time. Finally, there is an account of the fascinating early history of the winter landscape, from medieval illuminated manuscripts via the winter scenes of Pieter Bruegel the Elder to the beginning of the seventeenth century."--BOOK JACKET.
