Boats are frozen in, horses pull sleighs over the ice, and a luscious pink castle overlooks the scene... ❄️✨ This Christmas eve we're joining Hendrick Avercamp in this 17th century Dutch town, overtaken by the arctic cold which has frozen the local canal. Despite the cold, the townspeople are out on the ice, working, playing, and parading up its centre as if in a formal dance. Which detail of this scene is your favourite? #ArtHistory #ChristmasEve #NationalGallery
