Bruegel, Hunters in the Snow (Winter)발음듣기

(jazzy music) Female: Just looking at this painting makes me feel cold.발음듣기

Male: We're looking at Pieter Bruegel's The Return of the Hunters or Hunters in the Snow.발음듣기

It's this wonderful panel painting from the Renaissance, from Flanders, made for a merchant in Antwerp that had asked Bruegel to make six panel paintings, which were study of the labors of the months.발음듣기

This is an idea that goes back to manuscript illumination, back to the Medieval Period.발음듣기

This is perhaps the very first time in the history of painting where that idea has been brought to this larger scale.발음듣기

Female: Each one of these paintings represents a different time of year.발음듣기

We're obviously looking at winter here.발음듣기

We see some hunters returning from their hunt with their dogs, but they haven't got very much to show for their day out hunting.발음듣기

Male: If you look closely, you can see a rabbit just hanging off the back of one of the hunters, but it is a pretty meager catch.발음듣기

It does give us a sense of the stresses of winter.발음듣기

Female: You can see the footprints that they're leaving in the snow.발음듣기

There's this real sense of trudging through this deep snowy landscape.발음듣기

Male: In the foreground, there is that sense of melancholy as well.발음듣기

Their backs are turned to us.발음듣기

The pack of dogs that follow, their heads are down.발음듣기

There's a sense of them being tired and unsuccessful.발음듣기

But as our eye moves down the hill, and it moves down pretty fast, there's almost no middle ground, all of a sudden we're down in this icy pond.발음듣기

Then we see a different side of winter. We see playfulness.발음듣기

In fact, this painting is full of the activities of winter.발음듣기

Female: We're not just looking at a lovely landscape, but a landscape that is given meaning by the activities of the people that inhabit it, by their daily routines.발음듣기

Male: In fact, that idea is an ancient one, and comes from Virgil, Bruegel's patron may well have been thinking about Virgil when he commissioned this series, this notion of painting a landscape that is given meaning by the labors of the people within it.발음듣기

Although the image seems as if it is a moment in time, in fact the painting is carefully composed.발음듣기

Our eye follows the hunters down the hill, which is given a wonderful visual rhythm by those trees, and then my eye wants to ride down to that frozen pond where we see a woman pulling somebody else on a little sleigh.발음듣기

Then I want to go by those black crows and under those arches.발음듣기

There's that lovely woman just above who's carrying, perhaps, some firewood.발음듣기

Then beyond that we see lots of play taking place.발음듣기

Female: We do.발음듣기

We see people pulling each other on the ice, children playing and chasing each other, a man about to hit a ball with a stick on the ice, playing kind of ice hockey for the 16th century.발음듣기

Male: Then, perhaps, actually someone who's fallen, whose hat has fallen off.발음듣기

Female: This is really typical of Netherlandish painting, this idea of giving us a lot of visual information, a lot of things to look at, a small little narrative so that we can patiently discover more and more.발음듣기

Male: Think about the time that this is made.발음듣기

This is the Renaissance. In Italy, there's an attempt at this moment to perfect, to isolate, the most ideal moment.발음듣기

It's so different from Northern painting which is concerned with these almost literary narratives.발음듣기

Female: And the every day, the mundane.발음듣기

Male: It is still interested in finding meaning that comes from the multiplicity of human activities no matter how prosaic.발음듣기

Our eye also can soar through the painting.발음듣기

Female: Much like the birds that we see.발음듣기

Male: That's exactly what I was thinking.발음듣기

We have the birds who soar through the space, even into the very distant hills that are a reminder that Bruegel had actually made his way from northern Europe across the Alps to Italy.발음듣기

But unlike some of the other northerners who made that trip, he doesn't come back with the latest traditions of the Italian Renaissance painters.발음듣기

Instead, he seems to be caught in the landscape.발음듣기

Look at that beautiful Alpine vista that we have in the upper right.발음듣기

There's nothing like that in the Netherlands.발음듣기

There's nothing like that in Flanders.발음듣기

When Bruegel made his trip down to Italy, what he seems to have most been impressed with were the Alps.발음듣기

This is a good reminder that what we're looking at is not an actual view, for example, that Bruegel saw out his window, but a composed, partially imagined, composite landscape, activated by these human figures.발음듣기

Male: The landscape feels frozen and harsh, but it's warmed by its human inhabitants. (jazzy music)발음듣기
