About this work
Frans Post travelled to Brazil in 1637 as part of the entourage of Governor Johan Maurits of NassauSiegen. Once there, he made paintings and drawings of the landscape. On the artist’s return to the Dutch Republic in 1644, he continued making romanticized ‘Brazilian’ landscapes, like this little panel.
