View of Olinda, Dutch Brazil — Frans Jansz Post

Frans Jansz Post. Painted 1662.

Frans Post mainly drew and painted landscapes and buildings, including the cathedral of Olinda, a coastal town in the Pernambuco region of Brazil. The building was badly damaged when the Dutch conquered this region. In the foreground, Post depicted an array of animals, including a monkey, a sloth, and an anteater. This animal motif continues in the 17th-century frame, which Post may have designed himself.
