International Art to See: Europe (part I)

 
Winterlandschap met schaatsers, Hendrick Avercamp, 1608 at the Rijksmuseum

Here's the next in my International Art to See series, my home continent.... EUROPE! (If you missed them here's North America & South America) There's so many different countries, cultures, languages, traditions, styles, people etc... that make up Europe, it feels very worldy yet it will always be innately European. (I think the weather has a lot to answer for, especially in the Northern climes) I've missed out the UK as you can already see what I want to see in my post 'Art to see in 2013'. So here's a lot of art I'd like to see around Europe this year....
