About the piece

Painted in 1677 by Frans Post, this work offers a refined view of a Brazilian village. As one of the first European artists to document South American landscapes, Post masterfully balances a vast, airy sky with a detailed foreground of local inhabitants and tropical flora, including iconic towering palm trees.
