Snowball fights, icy games, and joyful crowds — winter in the 17th-century Netherlands was anything but dreary. How did one artist transform the bitter cold into a season of warmth, community, and delight? It's time to step into the whimsical world of Hendrick Avercamp, where frozen canals became playgrounds and every snow-covered scene told a story.

Join [New York Adventure Club](https://www.nyadventureclub.com "https://www.nyadventureclub.com") as we explore the charming winter landscapes of Dutch painter Hendrick Avercamp, whose joyful depictions of life on ice capture the vibrant spirit of a country deep in the chill of the Little Ice Age.

Led by art historian, museum guide, and New York Adventure Club lecturer Mariska Beekenkamp-Wladimiroff, our unique experience will include:

* **An introduction to European landscape art**, with a look at how this genre emerged and evolved across the continent
* **A deep dive into Dutch landscape painting**, exploring how artists in the Low Countries brought their natural surroundings to life
* **An overview of the Dutch 'Golden Age'**, and how this prolific period between 1580–1672 shaped the trajectory of the arts
* **A discussion around the rise of winter scenes**, and why depictions of ice skating, sledding, and snowy festivities became beloved subjects
* **A closer look at hidden symbolism and visual cues**, revealing how Avercamp embedded meaning and social commentary within his joyful scenes
* **An exploration of enduring Dutch winter traditions**, and how some customs and games — possibly even early golf — continue to this day

Afterward, we'll have a **Q&A with Mariska** — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!
