Noordkapers (Whales), Jan Brandes, 1778, by brush.
"The Southern Right whale Eubalaena australis of the Balaenidae. 1790 tr. of F. Le Vaillant’s Trav. I. 45The cachalot, a kind of whale which the Dutch call noord kaaper, is always found in great plenty sporting in the bason."
Jan Brandes (1743-1808) was appointed Lutheran minister in Batavia, the headquarters of the Dutch East India Company. He produced most of his paintings during nine years of his travels in Java, Ceylon, and Southern Africa, as a way of documenting life. After his return to Europe, he settled in Sweden, where he continued to produce water-colors.
Brandes' paintings and drawings depict not only the official, well-known side of colonialism, but offer a rare view into the daily domestic life of a traveler in Asia.
