Pieter Bruegel the Elder made a number of fantastic winter scenes. This one is my favourite. It contains so many tiny details that tell so many stories it is truly a winterwonderland.
In this video, I take you on a tour through this incredible painting.

The children whipping the tops reminded me of my childhood. It was still common in the north of Iran before football craze took care of every other game.

I really enjoy the explanation, very interesting. It's like beeing a child and seeing things for the first time.

One of my favourites. I appreciate the content. I was fortunate enough to see "The world of Bruegel in black and white: from the Collection of the Royal Library of Belgium" while living in Japan back in 2010 and it has forever left an impression on me. I also saw a Durer exhibit depicting the life of the virgin Mary in a series of woodcuts. I was always a fan of woodcuts, engravings and etchings but to see Durer and Bruegel in sequence was fantastic and spawned a lifelong obsession. Can you do a video on woodcuts, engravings and etchings please?

That is a really good idea. Perhaps one on the developing techniques and another on some of the early masters

A detailed and fascinating description of the painting. Thanks.
