On Thin Ice - Dutch Depictions of Extreme Weather

In the 17th century, frigid winters and unusually cool summers blanketed northern Europe in what became known as the Little Ice Age. Dutch artists depicted this persistent global cooling in scenes of daily activities like ice skating and fishing. Highlighting human vulnerability and resilience in the face of a changing climate, these works offer opportunities to reflect on our current environmental crises. This exhibition features works by Hendrick Avercamp and other Dutch artists of the 1600s.

The exhibition runs from May 28 – September 1, 2024 at the Getty Museum, 1200 Getty Center Dr., Los Angeles CA 90049.
