This was a fearsome event, but there was still room for hope because the prophecy was not regarded inevitable from the outset. The comet was a warning to humans: it heralded what would befall those who closed their eyes and ears to signs from God. Only repentance and conversion to a God-fearing way of life could now provide relief. This included recording the war in chronicles and autobiographical texts to clarify the exact meaning of the omen for the future. In 1648, the chroniclers were certain of what the comet of 1618 had predicted: the stubborn disregard of the warning and a war lasting thirty years.\u00ab<\/p>\n Professor Andreas B\u00e4hr, European University Viadrina, Frankfurt on the Oder<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=“4.7.3″ _module_preset=“default“ text_text_color=“#f4f4f4″ header_2_font=“||||||||“ header_2_text_color=“#ce1b18″ custom_margin=“100px||41px||false|false“ text_font_size_tablet=“14px“ text_font_size_phone=““ text_font_size_last_edited=“on|tablet“ header_2_text_shadow_style=“none“]<\/p>\n In the years between 1570 and 1630, the temperatures in Europe were particularly glacial. In the Netherlands, numerous winter landscapes were created in this first cold period of the Little Ice Age, a global cooldown. Hendrick Avercamp generally depicts the more cheerful side of these long winters that actually caused significant suffering in the daily lives of the population. Comet C\/1618 W1, which appeared in the skies over Europe in November 1618 and which was even visible during the day, points to the plight of humanity and the social context. It was closely associated with the Thirty Years\u2018 War. Multiple glazes lend the impression of the glimmer of ice, echoing the landscape paintings from the \u201eLittle Ice Age\u201c epoch in art history.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=“https:\/\/www.mse-kunsthalle.de\/z_kairos_epoche_09\/“ button_text=“Mehr zur Entstehung und zur Epoche“ _builder_version=“4.7.3″ _module_preset=“default“ custom_margin=“98px|||||“][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wolfgang Beltracchi, 2018Der grausame KometHandschrift: Hendrick Avercamp, 1618, Kampen\u00d6l auf Holz, 27 x 22 cm\u00bbTheologen und Astronomen, Gelehrte und weniger Gelehrte, Protestanten und Katholiken, sie alle hegten im Winter 1618 kaum einen Zweifel: Der Komet drohte mit Unheil, mit den apokalyptischen Reitern Krieg, Pest, Hunger und Tod.
