Baroque Winter Landscapes - The Sims 4 Loading Screens

Much to my surprise I noticed it's December again and so I went looking for some winter-themed loading screens, but couldn't find any in the style and with the mood I had in mind. So, thanks to this great and very helpful Sims 4 Studio tutorial by sigma1202, I could create some myself!

This pack includes six baroque landscape paintings of Dutch and Flemish painters of the 17th (and late 16th) century. So you get some beautiful winter sceneries, snow-covered houses, lots of people ice-skating and many more details to discover while you're waiting for your game to load (which, as we know, can take its time...). Plus, I feel the atmosphere somehow perfectly fits the time before Christmas.

Download here (Google Drive, free)

You can download them seperately or all together in a zip.file. Please make sure to only place ONE loading screen in your mods folder at a time!

Please let me know if you encounter any issues!

You can find details about the paintings I used under the cut:

So downwards and always from left to right, we've got:

01 - Lukas van Valckenborch, View of Antwerp with Frozen Schelde, 1593, Städel-Museum Frankfurt am Main

02 - Adriaen Pietersz van de Venne, Winter, 1614, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin

03 - Christoffel van den Berghe, A Winter Landscape with Ice Skaters and an Imaginary Castle, ca. 1615-20, Met Museum New York

06 - Aert van der Neer, Sports on a Frozen River, ca. 1660, Met Museum New York

The links lead to the paintings in the respective museum's online collection, in case you want to know more details or take a closer look at them without a rotating plumbob in the way 😅

Seventeenth-Century Pocket Book

Today, approximately 30 currencies are in use among the fifty nations of Europe. Back in the 1600s, things were much more complex, as illustrated in this Dutch catalog of woodcuts of 1,685 coins (many scaled to actual size). European cities, duchies, dioceses, and other localized governing bodies issued their own unique sets of coinage.

This book was printed in 1633 by Hieronymus Verdussen of the Verdussen publishing dynasty in Antwerp. At this point in history, the Netherlands dominated international trade. During the "Dutch Golden Age," the Netherlands was enriched by the establishment of the Dutch East Trading Company in 1602 and the Dutch West Trading Company in 1621. A pocket book such as the one showcased here would have seen heavy use by Dutch merchants needing a handy reference work to distinguish the hundreds of different coins in circulation. 

And yes, this is indeed a “pocket” book! The unusual dimensions of this volume (31 x 10.5 cm) fit very well in the pockets of the early 17th century (abt. 40 x 30 cm). (Fun fact: the modern pocket as sewn into clothes was developed in 17th century Europe!)

Two Owls Skating | Adriaen Pietersz. van de Venne | 1660 | Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

“Van de Venne was a specialist in proverbial and comic scenes and produced a large number of grisailles, most of which are peasant genre subjects. An engraving with etching of two owls. In this print two owls are pictured skating on ice, each in seventeenth-century dress and carrying a mouse attached to a string. In the painting the owl wearing the fur hat has spectacles tied to a string held in his beak, which in the prints have been replaced by a mouse. Print maker: Adriaen Matham (attributed to).”
