Jakopič’s Zimska Krajina (Winter Landscape), also found under the title Pozimi na Gričku (Kamnitnik) (Mid-winter on the Hill (Kamnitnik)), is one of the artist’s winter scenes from 1905. During this time, he and Ivan Grohar were extremely occupied with painting. Grohar painted the hill Kamnitnik from the west, including its quarry in the scene. The northern face, somewhat overgrown with vegetation, became one of Jakopič’s favorite motifs during all seasons in his time around Škofja Loka. Here, the painter structured the composition symmetrically. He balanced the transition from the axis towards the left by using sienna and red hues on the same side. Short trowel strokes with thick application ensured the shimmering effect of the light atop the snow-covered land. The artist used this effect to conjure the sensory feeling of a frigid snowpack and the sun-lit morning, when the sun coaxes out a bit of warmth. Jakopič sold this work only in 1913, along with his Križanke Jeseni, to the state gallery in Austria (Osterreichische Staatsgalerie), whereupon the National Gallery purchased it in 1922, along with 10 other works from Slovenian impressionists.
