About the piece

Commissioned for the Dutch East India Company, this 1662 painting by Johannes Vingboons offers a meticulously detailed bird's-eye view of Ayutthaya (Iudea). The city is depicted as a thriving island capital, where Buddhist temple spires mingle with fortified walls and canals, all set beneath an expansive, atmospheric sky.
