Hendrick Avercamp (1585 in Amsterdam - 1634 Kampen) Successor Ice Pleasure A delicately painted, atmospheric landscape influenced by Hendrick Avercamp in terms of motif, composition and style. From an elevated perspective, the viewer's gaze falls on an icy surface, which is mostly enlivened by a large number of staffage figures. On the frozen water in front of a harbour town, numerous people gather for recreational fun on the ice. Tents attract queues of people, sledges are pulled by horses, others are pushed by skaters, drinks are offered and kolf, a 17th century Dutch game, is played; Avercamp went to Amsterdam as a young man to study with the Danish painter Pieter Isaacsz. Back in Kampen, he taught his nephew Barent Avercamp. His works can be found in famous collections, including the Städel Frankfurt, the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam and the National Gallery London.
