Winter Cityscape With Frozen River Classical Art Doormat

Winter Cityscape With Frozen River c~ by Dutch Painter Bartholomeus van Hove (1790 - 1880); was a prominent figure in the development of 19th century painting as he was the teacher to many students of that time including Johannes Bosboom and Jan Hendrik Weissenbruch. This is a beautiful winter scene with fishing and house boats stuck in the harbour as the river has frozen over with people taking advantage of the frozen river to ice skate. In the background is a grand old Cathedral Church that looms large over the cityscape and a bridge that connects both parts of the city that the river runs through. While in the foreground on the opposite side of the river are snow capped apartment houses in rich vibrant colour with more snow to come as voluminous storm clouds begin to pass over the landscape.
