# Winter

South wing: Themes · hang 748 · 17 works

Snow simplifies a landscape and makes every colour in it count. These are winter scenes from several centuries and both sides of the world: skaters on frozen canals, snow on temple roofs, a road gone quiet in the cold.

The rooms are imagined; every work on their walls is real.
