"Wintersport: Embracing the Thrills and Beauty of Winter" Step back in time to 1957 with a captivating poster advertising skiing in Norway. The vibrant colors and bold typography beckon adventure seekers to embrace the snowy slopes. But winter sports have long been celebrated throughout history, as depicted in an allegorical masterpiece by Sadeler from 1620. This artwork beautifully captures the essence of winter, showcasing its power and majesty. Winter landscapes come alive with skaters gracefully gliding across frozen rivers, like Abel Grimmer's enchanting painting from the late 16th century. Even town-moats became icy playgrounds for skaters, as seen in Brussels' charming scene from 1649. The allure extends beyond skating alone; golfers dared to conquer frozen rivers near Haarlem during the Dutch Golden Age. Adriaen van de Velde's painting showcases their determination amidst a wintry wonderland. Aert van der Neer masterfully captured frozen river scenes at various times of day - evening or morning - creating breathtaking vistas that transport us back to the 17th century. These paintings depict villages nestled against icy shores where both golfers and skaters find solace in nature's frosty embrace. Fast forward to more recent times, when Kalela witnessed skaters joyously gliding near its serene shorelines in 1896. Frederiksberg Park also played host to countless moments of wintertime bliss as skaters reveled under snow-covered trees. And let us not forget about Wintersport with Frames Tours. A vintage poster invites you on an unforgettable journey filled with thrilling adventures on snow-capped mountainsides and cozy evenings spent by crackling fireplaces. Whether it be skiing down Norwegian slopes or ice-skating along frozen rivers, it has always captivated our hearts and souls, and is a celebration of human resilience against nature's cold grip while reveling in the beauty and joy that winter brings.
