In fact, the world ‘Breugeliaans’ is quite commonly used here to describe landscapes that look as if time stood still for centuries.

yes indeed. We don’t have snow that often as in the 16th century, but if it’s there, you can see ‘Bruegeliaanse landschappen’ (Breugelian landscapes) all over flanders and holland.

Thanks, Erik. That's great. Reminds me that if we go back to the paintings of Pieter Bruegel, we see the same thing in the 16th Century.

I’m from Belgium.
Is that painting a scene from the past?
Just look at the picture with this belgian news item of last week.
