Pieter Brueghel The Elder-Hunters in the Snow (1565)

Pieter Brueghel The Hunters in the Snow oil on wood 46”x 64” (1565) The Hunters in the Snow by William Carlos Williams  The over-all picture is winter icy mountains in the background the return  from the hunt it is toward evening from the left sturdy hunters lead in  their pack the inn-sign hanging from a broken hinge is a stag a crucifix  between his antlers the cold inn yard is deserted but for a huge bonfire  the flares wind-driven tended by women who cluster about it to the right beyond  the hill is a pattern of skaters Brueghel the painter concerned with it all has chosen  a winter-struck bush for his foreground to complete the picture
