"An Extensive Wooded Landscape in Winter with Skaters on a Frozen Waterway, a Pilgrim and Shrine Beyond" is a notable work by the Flemish painter Denys van Alsloot (c. 1570 – c. 1626). This painting, dating from the early 17th century, is a quintessential example of the winter landscape genre that flourished in the Netherlands during the Dutch Golden Age. Van Alsloot, known for his detailed and atmospheric landscapes, was a court painter to Archduke Albert and Archduchess Isabella, the Habsburg governors of the Spanish Netherlands.

The painting depicts a vast, panoramic view of a winter scene, bustling with the everyday life of the period. The foreground is dominated by figures engaging in ice skating, a popular pastime in the Netherlands, which is rendered with meticulous attention to the figures' varied poses and interactions. The middle ground shows a frozen waterway, leading the viewer's eye towards the horizon. In the distance, a small figure of a pilgrim approaches a shrine, adding a narrative element and a sense of depth to the composition.

Van Alsloot's work is characterized by its fine brushwork and the subtle gradations of light and color that capture the chill and stillness of a winter's day. The painting also reflects the contemporary interest in the depiction of winter activities and the naturalistic representation of landscape elements, which were subjects of fascination for both artists and patrons of the time.

"An Extensive Wooded Landscape in Winter with Skaters on a Frozen Waterway, a Pilgrim and Shrine Beyond" is significant for its art historical value, providing insight into the cultural and social milieu of the early 17th-century Netherlands. It remains an important piece within Denys van Alsloot's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its contribution to the development of landscape painting in European art.
