# A Brazilian Landscape [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [POST, Frans]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on oak panel, 22 x 27 cm ## Commentary Landscape depictions like the one illustrated here are generally categorized as "exotic landscapes."

From the sixteenth century onwards, exotic goods and products increasingly appeared as requisites in literature, visual art, and theater. The painting depicts a Brazilian landscape, with natives and slaves near a plantation house in a village. ## Related artworks - [Brazilian Landscape \(detail\)]() - [Brazilian Landscape]() - [Brazilian Landscape with Anteater]() - [Brazilian Landscape with Labourers]() - [Hacienda]() - [Landscape in Brazil]() - [The Church of Sts Cosmas and Damian and the Franciscan Monastery at Igaraçu, Brazil]() - [The Home of a "Labrador" in Brazil]() - [The Ox Cart]() - [View of Frederiksstad in Paraiba, Brazil]() - [View of Olinda, Brazil \(detail\)]() - [View of Olinda, Brazil]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
