full_question: A figure in one of this man's paintings, who may have been modeled on Leonardo's St. John, is about to stumble into a brook as another man hangs from a tree in the middle ground. In another work by this artist of The Peasant and the Birdnester, a child with a paper crown sits next to a waffle-eating man as others prepare for the cold. That canvas, Gloomy Day, is part of a series by this man that includes a painting showing blackbirds perched in the branches of a linear row of four trees leading down a hill. That work of his, which shows villagers playing hockey and ice skating on frozen water in its background, is in his series on the Labours of the Months. For 10 points, name this Flemish artist who showed three men and their dogs trudging home empty-handed in The Hunters in the Snow.
