Post","description":"\u003cp\u003eA seventeenth-century oil painting by Frans Jansz. Post depicting the village of Igaraçú in Brazil, featuring the Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrans Jansz. Post was a Dutch painter who travelled to Brazil in 1637 as part of the expedition led by Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen. During his time in South America, he produced a series of works documenting the geography, flora, and colonial settlements of the region. This painting depicts the village of Igaraçú, featuring the Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian on the left side of the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work displays the characteristic approach of Post, who combined European painting techniques with the specific light and terrain of the Brazilian coast. The composition is balanced, with a low horizon line that allows for an expansive sky, a common feature in Dutch painting of the seventeenth century. The foreground is populated by small figures engaged in daily activities, providing a sense of scale and human presence within the colonial environment. The foliage is rendered with a focus on the specific forms of tropical vegetation, which Post observed first-hand during his residency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many of his contemporaries who painted imaginary scenes, Post relied on sketches made on-site to construct his compositions. This painting reflects the transition from his earlier, more immediate observations to the more structured, studio-based works he produced after returning to the Netherlands. The palette is dominated by earthy tones in the foreground, contrasting with the lighter, atmospheric blues of the sky and distant horizon. The church, a clear reference to the Portuguese colonial influence in the area, acts as a structural anchor for the scene. The work remains a significant record of the colonial encounter in Brazil, documenting the architectural and environmental conditions of the period through a European lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/pantheon-giovanni-giacomo-de-rossi\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePantheon - Giovanni Giacomo de' Rossi — Giovanni Giacomo de' Rossi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Frans Post","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58786678833487,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58786699084111,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58786699116879,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58786699149647,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58786699182415,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58786699215183,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58786699247951,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58786699280719,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58786699313487,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58786699346255,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58786699379023,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58786699411791,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Braziliaans-landschap-met-het-dorp-Igara-_Poster_CompositorV1_1789451785213.jpg?v=1789453328"},{"product_id":"view-of-the-island-of-itamaraca-brazil-frans-jansz-post","title":"View of the Island of Itamaracá, Brazil - Frans Jansz. Post","description":"\u003cp\u003eA seventeenth-century topographical painting by Frans Jansz. Post, documenting the coastal scenery of Itamaracá, Brazil, during the Dutch colonial period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrans Jansz. Post was one of the first European artists to document the Americas. He travelled to Brazil in 1637 as part of the retinue of Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen, the governor of the Dutch colony in the region. During his seven-year stay, Post produced a series of paintings that recorded the geography, flora, and colonial presence in the territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work depicts the coastal environment of Itamaracá with a characteristic focus on the horizon line and the expansive, light-filled sky typical of Dutch painting from this period. The composition is divided into a foreground occupied by figures and a distant, low-lying coastline. The figures, including a rider on horseback and individuals carrying baskets, provide a sense of scale against the vastness of the water and the distant hills. The palette is dominated by muted earth tones, ochres, and soft greens, reflecting the artist's observation of the tropical light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePost's approach to these scenes is observational rather than purely imaginative. He captures the specific topography of the Brazilian coast, including the characteristic vegetation and the colonial structures visible in the distance. Unlike many of his contemporaries who painted imaginary exotic scenes, Post relied on his direct experience of the region. His work provides a historical record of the Dutch presence in Brazil during the seventeenth century. The painting demonstrates a clear interest in the relationship between the human figures and the natural environment, a common theme in his output from this period. The clarity of the light and the precise rendering of the coastal features are hallmarks of his style, which combined the traditions of Dutch topographical art with the unique visual conditions of the South American continent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/nl\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Frans Post","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58797477593423,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58797507313999,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58797507346767,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58797507379535,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58797507412303,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58797507445071,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58797507477839,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58797507510607,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58797507543375,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58797507576143,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58797507608911,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58797507641679,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/View-of-the-Island-of-Itamarac-Brazil_Poster_CompositorV1_1789574746184.jpg?v=1789575049"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/nl\/collections\/frans-post.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
