About the piece

Painted by Dutch Golden Age artist Frans Post in 1657, this work depicts a lush Brazilian landscape with meticulous detail. The composition balances a towering palm tree and a house under construction against a panoramic vista of the countryside, populated by figures going about their day under a bright, cloud-filled sky.
