Toys ReCreate "Hunters in the Snow"




"Hunters in the Snow" (Winter)--cropped--by Pieter Bruegel, 1565, at the Vienna Kuntshistorisches Museum www.khm.at/objektdb/#object-327

I was really disappointed no one was skating today, but a colorful family walked by on their way to the skating hill, so there's still some of the background activity that makes Bruegel's painting so wonderful.

 BELOW: On the radiator, drying off chilly snow. Not everyone here ended up in the picture.


In the original “Hunters in the Snow” painting, one of the hunters is carrying a dead fox over his shoulder. So we had a version with a fox, but as a friend, and a dinosaur as one of the dogs. I like it a lot, but I thought it turned out too colorful.
