48. IJsgezicht met houtsprokkelaars

| Ice scene with wood gatherers |
This is the kind of painting I would love to had hanging on my walls. The Romantic style was, in my opinion, the best of all. I loved receiving this postcard of IJsgezicht met houtsprokkelaars (Ice Scene with Wood Gatherers) by Andreas Schelfhout, 1849. I can't imagine how would I feel the moment someone sends me a postcard of any of Friedrich's works and I open my letterbox to find it. Especially if it's The Sea of Ice, which this card reminded me of. Will I die of happiness?

On the back of the card, this gorgeous stamp of the Skinny Bridge over the Amstel river in Amsterdam. Looks kinda melancholic with those lights and I think it matches the card Romantic's air nicely. I am glad to know the Netherlands have beautiful stamps besides the postcrossing commemoratives, which are proving hard to get.
