Hendrick Avercamp

Hendrick Avercamp was a Danish painter, and below are a few of his landscapes. He was one of the first landscape painters in Holland in the 17th century, and mostly stuck to colorful and lively renditions of winter wonderlands, and lots of people skating on ice. Avercamp was mute, and it's clear he used his talent as a painter to express both the playful and serious sides of life.
