OriginalThe Hunters in the Snow, Pieter Brueghel the Elder, 1565, Oil on Wood.
This is the most famous of several winter landscape paintings by Pieter Brueghel the Elder, which are all thought to have been painted in 1565, after an unusually severe winter, that has often been cited as the onset of a severe phase in the climatic period known as the Little Ice Age.
Reason
Very famous painting by one of the greatest artists of his time, high resolution as usual in paintings from Google Art Project. Clear scan, also in thumbnail. From my search in Google, as far as I can tell, colors are accurate.
