- This piece shows a village scene where people skate on a frozen river, while on the right among trees and bushes, birds gather around a bird trap. It has become known as the original or oldest exemplar of the most successful painting of the Brueghel family dynasty. The bird traps, like the trap on the right in the foreground, were used in the literature of the time to symbolize of the devil’s temptations destined for lost souls (birds traditionally symbolized the soul). Skating scenes in art often portray the uncertain (slippery) nature of existence. Skaters and birds are brought together here both for their obliviousness and their vulnerability to the looming perils.
