Winter Landscape Images
I don’t know what it is about a landscape with a layer of snow blanketing the ground but to me it is one of the most beautiful sights in nature. Granted, it isn’t such a pleasant thing if you have to travel in it and all sorts of unpleasant things can happen if you are not safe and warm. But, when you can simply gaze out the windows or go for a quiet walk, it is a true gift of nature worth enjoying.
These vintage drawings, paintings and photographs all celebrate that peaceful beauty that is the countryside covered with snow. Winter landscapes are among my favorites. I felt they deserved their own category here on Free Vintage Art. While many think of snow images and winter landscapes as being a part of the Christmas holiday, I think they should be enjoyed throughout the entire season of winter. And, if you don’t have “winter” where you live, you can perhaps enjoy snow vicariously through these vintage wintry images.
