EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Dutch plantation in Bengal, believed to be the VOC lodge Kazimbazar, painted by Hendrik van Schuylenburgh in 1665. The oil on canvas artwork measures 133u205 cm and is currently housed at the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The image transports us back to the flourishing era of the Dutch East India trading company (VOC) during the 17th and 18th centuries. With its Asian capital located in Batavia (now Jakarta), Java, VOC established numerous trading posts throughout Asia including Bengal. Kasimbazar served as their primary station for silk trade. The painting depicts a picturesque landscape with tents dotting the horizon and lush vegetation surrounding a charming village courtyard. Oxen can be seen plowing fields while villagers engage in farming and cultivation activities. This scene offers a glimpse into daily life within this colonial outpost. As we admire this masterpiece, it's important to acknowledge both the commercial success of VOC and its impact on Indian history. The Dutch Golden Age is beautifully captured through Schuylenburgh's brushstrokes, showcasing not only an aerial view of Kazimbazar but also highlighting elements of Mughal influence within this Dutch colony. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder of how art can transport us across time and continents, allowing us to appreciate historical moments that have shaped our world today.
