Image description

In 1636, Post accompanied governor Johan Maurits to the Dutch colony of Brazil to record flora and fauna with other artists and scientists. This is his earliest known painting made on 3 November 1637. At first Maurits wanted to build the new capital on the island of Itamaracá and the men with their slaves are probably exploring the island. On the hill across the water lies Schoppestad, with Fort Oranje on right.
