"Froid: A Glimpse into Winter's Embrace" Step into a world of icy wonder as we explore the captivating essence of "froid. " From the chilling Polar sea depicted in 1824 by an artist's brush to the frozen landscape of the Eastern Front during World War II, this collection of images transports us to France's wintry daily life. Intriguingly, two German soldiers stand amidst a snow-covered terrain on the cover of "Die Woche" in February 1943. Similarly, another artwork from "Die Woche" showcases soldiers donning winter dress on the Eastern Front, reminding us of their resilience and fortitude. Traveling back in time, we witness Parisians bustling around a municipal canteen during the siege of Paris in 1870. Henri Pille's painting captures both hardship and unity as people gather for sustenance amidst trying times. The conquest of the North Pole takes center stage with a lithograph from 1909, showcasing humanity's relentless pursuit to conquer nature's harshest realms. Meanwhile, Paul Thiriat's watercolor depicts a counter-attack during World War I at Verdun—a testament to bravery amid freezing conditions. Delving deeper into history, an engraving from an alphabet album reveals Baron Ernest de Liphart’s artistic prowess while illustrating ice through letter G. This unique piece offers insight into how art can intertwine with language and imagination. Venturing beyond borders, Karel Spillar paints a woman gracefully skiing through a forest in Czechoslovakia—an ode to winter sports and its enchantment across cultures. Emile Cohl’s winter sketch further adds whimsy and humor to our exploration through his work featured in "La caricature. " Finally, Isaak Van Ostade invites us onto frozen canals where pairs skate against picturesque backdrops—conjuring visions reminiscent of seventeenth-century winters bathed in golden sunlight.
