Aert van der Neer, of Aernout of Artus (1603-1677), was een landschapsschilder uit de Nederlandse Gouden Eeuw, gespecialiseerd in kleine nachtscènes die alleen worden verlicht door maanlicht en vuren, en besneeuwde winterlandschappen, beide vaak met uitzicht op een kanaal of rivier. Hij was een tijdgenoot van Albert Cuyp en Meindert Hobbema, en net als laatstgenoemde leefde en stierf hij in relatieve onbekendheid. Uit recent onderzoek van René van Dijk van het Streekarchief Gorinchem is gebleken dat Van Der Neer in Gorinchem is geboren. Volgens Arnold Houbraken woonde Van der Neer in Gorinchem als rentmeester van de heren van Arkel, wat de afwezigheid van foto's uit zijn vroege jaren zou verklaren. Mogelijk werd hij amateurschilder door contacten met de Amsterdamse schilders Rafael en Jochem Govertsz Camphuysen, met wiens zus Lysbeth hij in 1629 trouwde. Ze kregen zes kinderen: Grietje, Eglon, Cornelia, Elisabeth, Pieter en Alida. Vijf van de kinderen werden gedoopt in de Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam, niet ver van waar hij woonde. Zijn zoon Eglon werd later zelf portretschilder. Van der Neer kon zijn gezin nauwelijks onderhouden door zijn landschappen, die niet hoog gewaardeerd werden, te verkopen. In 1659 leek het nodig zijn inkomen aan te vullen met een wijnbar in de Kalverstraat, maar twee jaar later ging hij failliet. Hij stierf in bittere armoede in Amsterdam, en zijn kunst werd zo weinig gewaardeerd dat de door hem nagelaten foto's werden geschat op ongeveer vijf shilling per stuk. De vroegste afbeeldingen waarop Van Der Neer zijn monogram van A.V. en D.N. doorweven met een datum zijn een winterlandschap in het Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam (gedateerd 1639), en een ander in de Martins-collectie in Kiel onrijpe werken, beide van slechte kwaliteit. Veel beter is het Winterlandschap, en de Maanlichtscène ooit in de collectie d'Arenberg in Brussel. In 1652 was Van Der Neer getuige van de brand die het oude stadhuis van Amsterdam in de as legde. Hij maakte van dit ongeluk het onderwerp voor twee of drie foto's, nu in de galerijen van Berlijn en Kopenhagen. Hoewel Amsterdam constant de woonplaats van Van der Neer lijkt te zijn geweest, vertellen zijn foto's dat hij goed bekend was met de grachten en bossen rond Haarlem en Leiden, en met de uithoeken van de Maas en de Rijn. Dordrecht, de woonplaats van Albert Cuyp, komt soms voor op zijn foto's, en er is substantieel bewijs dat er vriendschap bestond tussen de twee mannen. In een bepaalde periode van hun leven legden ze hun handen op dezelfde doeken, waarop ze elk hun gezamenlijke stempel drukten. Bij sommigen was het de handtekening van de naam, bij anderen de meer overtuigende handtekening van stijl. Er zijn landschappen in de collecties van de hertogen van Bedford en Westminster, waarin Cuyp ofwel de bevroren Maes heeft afgebeeld met vissers die haringen aan het pakken zijn, ofwel de maan die zijn licht weerkaatst op het kalme water van de rivier. Dit zijn modellen waarnaar Van Der Neer lijkt te hebben gewerkt. Hetzelfde gevoel en soortgelijke onderwerpen vind je bij Cuyp en Van Der Neer, voor en na hun samenwerking, maar Cuyp was het leidende genie. Van der Neer kreeg hulp van hem; Cuyp verwachtte niets van Van Der Neer. De foto's van zijn vriend verlevendigde hij desgevraagd zorgvuldig met figuren en vee. Het is op foto's die ze gezamenlijk hebben gemaakt dat we de aanwezigheid van Van Der Neer in Dordrecht ontdekken. We zijn bij Dordrecht in het ondergaande landschap van het Louvre, waarin Cuyp klaarblijkelijk de voorgrond en koeien schilderde. Op de foto van de National Gallery, Londen, zet Cuyp zijn naam op de emmer van een melkmeisje, wiens figuur en rode rok hij met lichteffect heeft geschilderd aan de rand van het landschap van Van Der Neer. Wederom een paar vissers met een hond, en een sportman die aan komt sluipen om enkele eenden te verrassen, zijn Cuyps in een hoofdstad Van Der Neer aan het Staedel Instituut in Frankfurt. Van der Neers favoriete onderwerpen waren de rivieren en waterlopen van zijn geboorteland, bij zonsondergang of in het donker. Zijn bijzondere vaardigheid komt tot uiting in het realiseren van doorschijnendheid, waardoor zelfs verre objecten in het donker kunnen verschijnen met verschillende warme bruine en staalgrijze tinten. Een andere van zijn fantasieën is om bevroren water te schilderen, en zijn ijslandschappen bij daglicht met golfers, sleeën en vissers zijn net zo talrijk als zijn maanlicht. Maar hij vermijdt altijd de indruk van ijzel, wat een van zijn grote gaven is. Zijn foto's zijn niet schaars. Ze zijn in de markt minder waard dan die van Cuyp of Hobbema; maar omdat ze een eigenaardige charme bezitten, zijn ze erg gewild bij verzamelaars. Van de ongeveer honderdvijftig foto's die voor het publiek toegankelijk zijn, bevindt de meest uitgelezen selectie zich in de Hermitage in Sint-Petersburg. In Engeland zijn schilderijen van zijn penseel te vinden in de National Gallery en Wallace Collection. (Master Painters)

Aert van der Neer (1603-1677) A collection of paintings 4K Ultra HD
Aert van der Neer, or Aernout or Artus (1603-1677), was a landscape painter of the Dutch Golden Age, specializing in small night scenes lit only by moonlight and fires, and snowy winter landscapes, both often looking down a canal or river. He was a contemporary of Albert Cuyp and Meindert Hobbema, and like the latter he lived and died in comparative obscurity. Recent research by René van Dijk of the Gorinchem Regional Archive has established that Van Der Neer was born in Gorinchem. According to Arnold Houbraken, Van Der Neer lived in Gorinchem as a steward to the lords of Arkel, which would account for the absence of any pictures dating from his early years. He became an amateur painter possibly upon contact with the Amsterdam painters Rafael and Jochem Govertsz Camphuysen, whose sister Lysbeth he married in 1629. They had six children: Grietje, Eglon, Cornelia, Elisabeth, Pieter and Alida. Five of the children were baptized in the Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam, not far from where he lived. His son Eglon later became a portrait painter himself. Van Der Neer was barely able to support his family by selling his landscapes, which were not highly valued. In 1659 it seemed necessary to supplement his income by keeping a wine tavern in the Kalverstraat, but two years later he went broke. He died in Amsterdam in abject poverty, and his art was so little esteemed that the pictures left by him were valued at about five shillings apiece. The earliest pictures in which Van Der Neer coupled his monogram of A.V. and D.N. interlaced with a date are a winter landscape in the Rijksmuseum at Amsterdam (dated 1639), and another in the Martins collection at Kiel immature works both, of poor quality. Far better is the Winter Landscape, and the Moonlight Scene once in the d'Arenberg collection in Brussels. In 1652 Van Der Neer witnessed the fire which consumed the old town-hall of Amsterdam. He made this accident the subject for two or three pictures, now in the galleries of Berlin and Copenhagen. Though Amsterdam appears to have been constantly Van Der Neer's domicile, his pictures tell that he was well acquainted with the canals and woods about Haarlem and Leiden, and with the reaches of the Meuse and Rhine. Dordrecht, the home of Albert Cuyp, is sometimes found in his pictures, and substantial evidence exists that there was friendship between the two men. At some period of their lives they laid their hands to the same canvases, on each of which they left their joint mark. On some it was the signature of the name, on others the more convincing signature of style. There are landscapes in the collections of the dukes of Bedford and Westminster, in which Cuyp has represented either the frozen Maes with fishermen packing herrings, or the moon reflecting its light on the river's placid waters. These are models after which Van Der Neer appears to have worked. The same feeling and similar subjects are found in Cuyp and Van Der Neer, before and after their partnership, but Cuyp was the leading genius. Van Der Neer got assistance from him; Cuyp expected none from Van Der Neer. He carefully enlivened his friend's pictures, when asked to do so, with figures and cattle. It is in pictures jointly produced by them that we discover Van Der Neer's presence at Dordrecht. We are near Dordrecht in the landscape sunset of the Louvre, in which Cuyp evidently painted the foreground and cows. In the National Gallery, London picture Cuyp signs his name on the pail of a milkmaid, whose figure and red skirt he has painted with light effectiveness near the edge of Van Der Neer's landscape. Again, a couple of fishermen with a dog, and a sportsman creeping up to surprise some ducks, are Cuyp's in a capital Van Der Neer at the Staedel Institute in Frankfurt. Van Der Neer's favourite subjects were the rivers and watercourses of his native country either at sunset or after dark. His peculiar skill is shown in realizing translucence which allows objects even distant to appear in the darkness with varieties of warm brown and steel greys. Another of his fancies is to paint frozen water, and his daylight icescapes with golfers, sleighers, and fishermen are as numerous as his moonlights. But he always avoids the impression of frostiness, which is one of his great gifts. His pictures are not scarce. They are less valuable in the market than those of Cuyp or Hobbema; but, possessing a charm peculiarly their own, they are much sought after by collectors. Out of about one hundred and fifty pictures accessible to the public, the choicest selection is in the Hermitage at Saint Petersburg. In England paintings from his brush are to be found at the National Gallery and Wallace Collection.
Aert van der Neer, A Frozen River by a Town at Evening
A Frozen River by a Town at Evening, about 1665 by Aert van der Neer (1604 - 1677)
Van der Neer specialised in landscapes seen by moonlight or evening light. The composition, with the waterway receding into the distance at right angles to the horizon, is characteristic of van der Neer. This example was probably painted in the mid-1660s.

Aert van der Neer, A Frozen River near a Village with Colf Players and Skaters
A Frozen River near a Village with Colf Players and Skaters, painted about 1648 by Aert van der Neer (1604 - 1677)
The game of colf was played in the Middle Ages, but became particularly popular in seventeenth-century Holland. It was called colf, and was played on the ice. European winters in the mid-seventeenth century were severe. Rivers and canals froze so solid that the life normally lived in a village moved out onto the frozen waterways and carried on – business as usual.
But van der Neer shows his villagers at play. One man, about to strike the ball with his long club, is brightly lit in spite of the grey clouds. A patch of blue overhead reflects on the ice, making it appear even colder. Perhaps a little chilly in his fashionable clothes, the man stands out in his white shirt sleeves and his kolfer’s stance – leaning forward, bottom out. His concentration is fierce as he aims for the target, under the scrutiny of his opponent and a couple of onlookers.
Other couples play along the far bank, leaving the broad stretch of the river to the crazily tipping skaters, the sledge with the old woman bundled up in her shawl, the fisherman checking his lines, the woman sitting on the beleaguered boat, rubbing her leg. Not everyone was an expert skater, it would seem.
Van der Neer painted the little village with affectionate detail. Outlines are crisp with a dusting of snow: a tall grey roof, another brown with moss and sagging just a little, and in front of it a barn with thatch slung over a long pole. Each brittle branch of the leafless trees is silhouetted against mounting white clouds in the background, their slender trunks reflected in the ice. Icicles cling to the side of the bridge and a streak of white light shines out from the back of the barn. A couple cosily wrapped in their smart, warm coats, hand tucked into muffs, stroll along with their dog, who stops and stares at the strange antics of the people on the ice.
Starting as a landscape painter, van der Neer came to winter scenes quite late in his career, but captured the chill coming from the ice and the nuances in colour brought about by the scattering of snow and the warmer tones of the clouds. His small figures – people who would have been familiar – are detailed and full of character, drawn first and then transferred into paint in the studio. He treated the old buildings with equal care and fondness, again taken from sketches made outside – the rickety house in front of the church and the cottage jammed in between them, its chimney smoking. But the landscape itself is imaginary, an amalgamation of all these sketches and drawings brought to life in paint.
Sadly, van der Neer’s painting failed to keep him solvent. He kept an inn and painted in his spare time, but even that wasn't enough to make him a livelihood and he died bankrupt.

Wolfgang Schulz has confirmed the authenticity of the present painting. A written certificate from 28 March 2014 is available. When Wolfgang Schulz included the present painting in his monograph on Aert van der Neer, it was not yet known to him in the original, and so he questioned the attribution to a certain degree. Having seen the original in 2014, he was able to endorse it as an autograph work. In his certificate he writes: “Painted in Amsterdam in the second half of the 1660s, it shows the typical features characteristic of the artist’s late work.”

Aert van der Neer, Frozen River with buildings on both banks
Frozen River with buildings on both banks.
This winter landscape is a fine example from van der Neer's maturity, datable to circa 1660.1 After 1646, none of van der Neer's winter landscapes are dated; therefore establishing a firm chronology of them within the artist's oeuvre has been based largely on stylistic elements.2 The costumes of figures, as well as the positioning of trees in the various compositions have both been used as tools to roughly date these winter scenes. Later works, such as the present example, often depict trees set to the side, mostly along the edges of the farm dwellings, thus framing the picture, whereas in earlier works trees are placed more centrally among the composition.3
By around 1660 winter landscapes dominated van der Neer's output, and the pictures from this time are both particularly strong in quality, and consistent in composition. The present work contains all of the hallmarks recognizable in the artist's best mature paintings: a receding stretch of ice flanked on both sides by homes and trees, a reduced amount of figures on the ice, all carefully placed and rendered, and perhaps most importantly, a soft light. By setting these scenes in the late afternoon, van der Neer is able to utilize a richly colored glow from the setting sun such as warm pinks and greens. Similar in handling and overall composition, this picture may be compared to Wide Frozen River Landscape in the Evening Near a Town, from around the same moment, and now in the National Gallery, London (inv. no. 969).

Aert van der Neer, Schaatsers bij de Montelbaantoren in Amsterdam
Schaatsers bij de Montelbaantoren in Amsterdam, door Aert van der Neer in het Album Amicorum van Jacob Heyblocq (p. 133) Album amicorum van Jacobus Heyblocq (1623-1690), rector van de Latijnse school te Amsterdam. Amsterdam [etc.], 1645-1678.
Contemporaine zwarte leren band met goudstempeling.
Bevat 196 inscripties, waaronder 41 tekeningen, 2 gravures, 3 knipwerkjes en een titelpagina in een cartouche van bladeren. Papier, 310 pp., ill. 92×153 mm.
Studenten en hun vriendenboeken in de zeventiende eeuw In de tijd van Jacob Heyblocq (1623-1690) zijn vriendenboeken (in het Latijn alba amicorum) vooral populair onder studenten die van universiteit naar universiteit reizen. Ze nemen de kleine boekjes mee op reis. Wanneer ze mensen ontmoeten die ze niet willen vergeten, vragen ze hun iets in hun album te schrijven. Dat zijn meestal korte citaten en uitingen van vriendschap met een datering en een ondertekening. Soms laten de studenten hun portret in het album zetten of het familiewapen. Het album reist met de student mee totdat zijn studie klaar is, en verdwijnt dan meestal in een lade. Heyblocqs ambities met zijn album Jacob Heyblocq pakt het iets anders aan. Hij is nog wel student theologie in Leiden als hij in 1645 met het album begint, maar op de eerste pagina maakt hij direct duidelijk dat hij veel meer wil dan een standaard vriendenboek. Heyblocq richt zich in het Latijn tot de ‘grootste, geleerdste, nobelste’ mensen van zijn tijd en zegt dat hij naast al zijn verplichtingen maar één groot plezier in het leven kent: kijken naar albumbijdragen. Hij vraagt ‘de grootste denkers van deze eeuw en koninklijke hoogheden’ om ‘briljante bijdragen’ te schrijven in dit ‘gedurfde boek’. Hij belooft dat na de dood van de schrijvers wat zij geschreven hebben zal blijven voortbestaan.Wie schrijft die blijft, zeggen we tegenwoordig.
Heyblocqs beroemde Amsterdamse ‘vrienden’
Heyblocq maakt werk van zijn ambitie. Na zijn studie gaat hij lesgeven aan de Latijnse school aan de Nieuwe Zijds in Amsterdam. Amsterdam is in de ‘gouden’ zeventiende eeuw een wereldstad waar wetenschap, kunst en cultuur tot grote bloei komen. Rond 1660 wordt Heyblocq rector van zijn Latijnse school en door deze positie komt hij in aanraking met de culturele elite van Amsterdam. Dichters, professoren , tekenaars en schilders vraagt hij om een bijdrage. Bijzondere bijdragen in Heyblocqs album De meeste bijdragen zijn een stuk uitgebreider dan de gebruikelijke vriendschapsbetuigingen. Veel gedichten zijn voor de gelegenheid gemaakt. Ze zijn over het algemeen in het Nederlands of het Latijn. De naam Heiblocq wordt vaak als inspiratie gebruikt. Een heiblok is het zware blok van de heimachine waarmee palen in de grond worden geslagen. Zo dicht Joost van den Vondel, een van Nederlands beroemdste schrijvers uit de zeventiende eeuw:
Jakob, pryst ghy eeuwigh werck,
Bouw geen huis, veel min een kerck
Op den veengront van elcks zin,
Want die gronden zacken in;
Schoon men hout noch Heiblocq spaer.
Veengront dreight u met gevaer. [p. 11)
Met andere woorden: Bouw (je leven) liever op de rots van eeuwige waarden dan op de moerasgrond van de waan van de dag. Veengrond is en blijft onstabiel, ook als je palen en een heiblok gebruikt. Ook Rembrandt van Rijn levert een bijdrage. Hij tekent in 1661 een geliefde scène uit de Bijbel, het moment dat Jezus door zijn ouders in de tempel wordt voorgesteld aan Simeon. Het rijkste vriendenboek van Nederland Met al die beroemde bijdragen is dit het rijkste vriendenboek uit de Nederlandse geschiedenis. Geen enkel ander album is zo mooi geïllustreerd. We vinden er prachtige landschappen in getekend, maar ook mythologische scènes verfraaien het boek, bijvoorbeeld met een tekening door Gerbrand van den Eeckhoudt, een leerling van Rembrandt. Het boek bevat ook uitgewerkte tekeningen met een passende, wijze spreuk:
Wat is den Mens alleen?
Daar valt niet om te Schaacken
Dus vindt ick geen partuur,
zoo moet ick ’t Schaacken staacken. Heyblocqs album en de Koninklijke Bibliotheek Het album amicorum van Jacob Heyblocq wordt in 1901 aan de KB geschonken door U.M. Kneppelhout-Van Braam.

Aert van der Neer, Skating scene with colf players
Skating scene with colf players: figures on a river flowing through a village. Aert van der Neer (or imitator; 1603 - 1677)
This view along a frozen Dutch river is by an imitator of Aert van der Neer. The scene is full of activity, with people fishing, skating and playing colf, an early Dutch form of golf. On the left a small boat is icebound. A man waves for help after slipping on the frozen bank of a canal that runs alongside the river to the left. The work successfully emulates Neer's method of suggesting bitter cold by means of a restricted palette of ice blue, grey, brown, black and white, but apart from this and its subject matter it fails to look like Neer, especially in the treatment of figures and sky. Neer was inspired by the subject matter and composition of Flemish winter scenes, such as those of Hendrick Avercamp (1585-1634), and his restricted palette appears to have been influenced by the 'tonal' style that began to spread from Haarlem in the 1620s and 1630s.

Aert van der Neer (Gorinchem, 1603 - 1677, Amsterdam)
Van der Neer's special interest in effects of light and atmosphere found an ideal subject in the winter landscape. Here the brilliant illumination of the sunset is diffused throughout the landscape by its reflection in the ice.
This small, delicately painted panel is a mature example of Van der Neer's ice-skating scenes, and probably dates from about 1660. In this luminous picture, the sun sets over one of Holland's inland waterways. The icy landscape is described mostly in tones of rose and gray. Houses crowd the shoreline at either side. The towers of two village churches mark the recession on the left, which terminates at an overscaled windmill. A small sailboat is moored by the simple, snow-traced crane at the left edge of the composition. A few of the scattered skaters practice colf, a game resembling golf.
The great majority of Van der Neer's wintertjes (little winter scenes), which number more than two hundred, depict figures on a frozen river or canal. These mostly panoramic compositions are structured by receding riverbanks and vertical accents, and in general recall the designs of Hendrick Avercamp (1585–1634) rather than those of the younger painters who were active in the area of Haarlem and Amsterdam. This conservatism is a legacy of Van der Neer's training in his native city of Gorinchem, which did not, however, discourage his describing optical effects such as the sun's reflection, shadows cast by boats, and the sense of light and space infusing cloudy skies. Especially impressive in this picture is the way in which the brilliance of the sunset is diffused throughout the landscape. These qualities may be considered the artist's main concern, whereas predecessors such as Avercamp usually concentrated on the figures. For Van der Neer, humanity seems to represent not so much society as another aspect of nature.
Some of the painter's winter scenes of the 1640s are dated, but very few later examples are inscribed with a year. The undated examples are difficult to place chronologically; they reveal a remarkable lack of repetition, and pentimenti suggesting much invention ad libitum. The Met’s picture, however, is consistent in style with a group of small skating scenes that date from the late 1650s and early 1660s. (Adapted from Liedtke, 2007)

Winter Landscape at Sunset, c. 1650 - 1655. Aert van der Neer (1603 - 1677)
Aert van der Neer specialised in painting scenes illuminated by the rising sun, or nocturnes with figures and buildings picked out by moonlight. This large landscape depicts a typical Dutch village at twilight with figures on a frozen river engaged in various activities including a game of colf. This painting, like most of the artist's work, is an idealised view of a town with two windmills in the middle distance, though van der Neer often included recognisable buildings in his pictures.

Aert van der Neer, Winter Landscape with Skater and Colf Players
Winter Landscape with Skater and Colf Players (about 1655), by Aert van der Neer (about 1603 - 1677)
Aert van der Neer specialised in painting moonlight scenes and winter landscapes. In his view he managed to capture the subtle effects of light and colour in the wintry climate. A large number of people have gathered on the frozen river for entertainment. Some are ice skating of playing a game of colf while others are enjoying a leisurely stroll with their family members and pet dogs.
Although a windmill can be seen at right, this view is probably imaginary and does nog depict a particular location.

Aert van der Neer, Winter Landscape with Skaters on a Frozen Waterway
English, Nederlands
English
Winter Landscape with Skaters on a Frozen Waterway (c. 1650 - 1655), by Aert van der Neer
A specialist in winter scenes and moonlit and twilight landscapes, Aert van der Neer was born in Amsterdam but lived in his youth in Arkel near Gorinchem, where he came in contact with the local landscapists, Jochem (1601/02-1659) and Raphael Govertsz Camphuysen (c. 1597/98-1657). Van der Neer had begun painting winter scenes by 1641 and dated several winter landscapes in the 1940s, but virtually none in his later years. Consequently it is difficult to establish a chronology for these pictures, but the figures' costumes offer some clues. Those of the skaters and citizens in the present work, for example, point to a date in the early to mid 1650s, when Van der Neer seems to have been very active. It is typical of the artist's winter scenes in depicting a frozen, centrally receding waterway with numerous tiny skaters and promenading spectators of all classes silhouetted against the ice. On the low bank in the foreground, figures sit to watch or stand to socialise and converse beside large fishing traps and baskets. One gentleman addresses the ball in a game of colf (the predecessor of modern day hockey and golf), while other groups, one beside a vessel frozen in the ice on the left and another farther back, try their skill at this popular pastime. In the distance a horse-drawn sleigh makes its way across the ice. Along the narrow bank on the left the dark branches of leafless trees and the gables and spires of an unidentified town rise up into the icy air. More than two thirds of the scene is devoted to sky and the clouds are tinged with slate blue and yellow. Although the paint surface has suffered abrasion, one can still appreciate the colourful atmospheric effects for which Van der Neer is renowned. In some respects Van der Neer's compositional devices are old fashioned, returning to spatial formulae that Hendrick Avercamp had introduced in the first decade of the century. The latter's additive designs, which piled skaters up the surface of a frozen river stretching to a vanishing point on the central horizon, had been superseded by the winter scenes of Esaias van de Velde and other Haarlem artists, who introduced greater diagonal unity and more natural atmospheric effects. The next generation of winter landscapists, including Isack van Ostade (1621-1649) and Jan van de Cappelle (1626-1679), preferred more intimate, focused designs centring on a few motifs. But Van der Neer, who was older than either of these painters though something of a late bloomer, reverted to the time-honoured, encyclopaedic winter scenes with their community-wide compositions that Avercamp had popularised forty years earlier. However Van der Neer revitalised these retardataires designs with original contributions, namely an unprecedented responsiveness to coloured light and atmosphere. We do not know how Van der Neer's contemporaries responded to these inventions but there is some evidence to suggest that he may only have been an amateur painter with limited impact. Like other artists of the period, he maintained a second career as an innkeeper, and like one of his sons, was described in documents of 1659 and 1662 as a wyntapper (taverner). In the latter year he went bankrupt. The inventory of his belongings placed very low values on his paintings (mostly five guilders or less) and it is possible that he curtailed his artistic production after his business failings. At the end of his life he seems to have lived in impoverished circumstances, dying in his native Amsterdam in 1677. Peter C. Sutton

Winter Scene with Figures Playing Colf, 1655 - 1660, by Aert van der Neer (1604 - 1677)
Aert van der Neer, a Dutch painter who worked primarily in Amsterdam, specialized in winter scenes and moonlit landscapes. Typical of his mature paintings, this composition is organized around a central body of water, which is bordered on the left by the thatched houses of a village and on the right by a community of cottages. The figures populating the scene endure the harsh weather conditions by participating in the pleasures of seasonal entertainment. Here, several skaters glide across the frozen river while two men enjoy a hearty game of colf played on the ice during the winter months. Despite the lively activity he depicts, the artist is mainly interested in conveying the winter season’s dramatic light and color effects. As such, the tinted light of the setting sun, as it is refracted by the clouds and moist atmosphere and reflects on the neutral landscape, provides the true subject of this enchanting painting.
