5667224 A Brazilian Landscape, 1650 (oil on wood) by Post, Frans Jansz (1612-80); 61 x 91.4 cm; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA; (add.info.: In 1630-54, the Dutch Republic held a colony in north Brazil to which Post accompanied the governor and sketched local flora and fauna. The iguana and cactus added exotic notes to the landscapes he produced on his return to the Netherlands, which often featured local indigenous or enslaved populations?n this case Tupi people - but were a mixture of fantasy and observation).
