Brazilian Landscape 1670
by Frans Jansz Post
Frans Post travelled to Brazil in 1637 as part of the entourage of Governor Johan Maurits of Nassau-Siegen. Once there, he made paintings and drawings of the exotic landscape. On the artist’s return to the Dutch Republic in 1644, he made romanticized ‘Brazilian’ landscapes, like this little panel.
