''The Hunters in the Snow'' (Dutch: ''Jagers in de Sneeuw''), also known as ''Winter,'' is a celebrated painting by the Netherlandish Renaissance artist Pieter Bruegel the Elder, completed in 1565. This masterpiece is one of a series of works that depict different times of the year and is renowned for its pioneering portrayal of winter landscapes in Western art. The painting is part of the collection at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria.

Measuring 117 cm × 162 cm (46 in × 63.8 in), the oil-on-wood panel painting is a striking example of Bruegel's ability to blend detailed narrative with landscape. The composition showcases a panoramic view of a snow-covered village with hunters returning from an unsuccessful expedition, accompanied by their dogs. The hunters' downtrodden posture and the meager bounty of a single fox suggest a bleak return, contrasting with the lively scenes of ice-skaters on a frozen pond in the valley below.

Bruegel's work is characterized by its intricate detail and the use of atmospheric perspective. The muted palette of whites and browns evokes the coldness of winter, while the leafless trees and distant mountains contribute to the sense of depth and vastness. The painting is notable for its depiction of peasant life, which Bruegel portrayed with empathy and without idealization, a hallmark of his artistic style.

''The Hunters in the Snow'' is not only a visual chronicle of 16th-century peasant life but also an allegorical reference to the harshness of the season. It has been interpreted as a meditation on human endurance in the face of natural adversity, as well as a reflection on the social conditions of the time. The work has had a lasting influence on the genre of landscape painting and continues to be studied for its aesthetic and historical significance. Its iconic status has been cemented by its frequent appearance in popular culture and its influence on later artists and filmmakers.
