The “Scenic Painting” is a lovely winter hunting scene.

The “Scenic Painting” is sometimes fake. In the fake version, there will only be a single hunter and not quite as many dogs.

Once placed in the museum, the description provided on the plaque will read,

The Hunters in the Snow – Pieter Brueghel the Elder, 1565

Oil on Wood Panel

A landscape artist from the late Renaissance period, Brueghel was known as the “Peasant Artist.” He earned the title for depicting scenes from common peasant life, such as the moment captured here. Note the contrast between the weary hunters and the people frolicking below on icy ponds.
