Art history is full of beautiful paintings with a winter theme. The whiteness of snow, muted winter light and almost a monochromatic palette fascinated painters since the Middle Ages.

Have you ever wondered how artists travelled in the past? How did they deliver their artworks, and how far did they go? The time of the Renaissance was marked by travelling, Great Geographical Discoveries, and the rebirth of Classical antique art.
