EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Brazilian landscape in 1650, as depicted by Frans Jansz Post. Painted with oil on wood, this masterpiece measures 61 x 91.4 cm and is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. During the years of 1630-54, when the Dutch Republic held a colony in north Brazil, Post had the opportunity to accompany the governor and sketch local flora and fauna. Upon his return to the Netherlands, he created landscapes that showcased indigenous or enslaved populations alongside exotic elements such as iguanas and cacti - a blend of fantasy and observation. In this particular painting, titled "A Brazilian Landscape". Tupi people are featured amidst a breathtaking panorama filled with vibrant plants and a meandering river. The artist's imagination seamlessly intertwines with his observations from nature. The colonial influence is evident through references to both Dutch presence (Dutch colony) and Portuguese colonization (Brazil). This artwork serves as a retrospective glimpse into an era where different cultures collided against South America's tropical backdrop. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this historical piece for all art enthusiasts to admire. It transports viewers back in time while highlighting the rich diversity found within Brazil's natural landscapes during that period.
