Winter Wonderland: Depictions of winter in European art from Bruegel to Beuys

From 17 Nov 2011 to 07 Jan 2012

18 October - 8 January. An exhibition at the Kunsthistorisches Museum explores the influence of winter on European art from the late Middle Ages to the present day, from Pieter Bruegel the Elder to Joseph Beuys.

The show begins with winter landscapes in Flanders in the 1560s and concludes with more contemporary work.

In addition to the 150 paintings by artists such as Rembrandt, Francisco de Goya, Caspar David Friedrich, Claude Monet, Edvard Munch, Anselm Kiefer and Peter Paul Rubens, there are winter-inspired sculptures, tapestries and artefacts made from porcelain, ivory and silver.
