View of Olinda, Brazil, 1662. Tempted by Brazil's sugar plantations, in the 1630s the Dutch captured much of Portugal's colony on South America's western coast. They were forced to withdraw in the 1650s. Frans Post went to Brazil from 1636 to 1644 to sketch and paint the country and its inhabitants. Back in the Netherlands, he continued to paint real and imaginary Brazilian landscapes.
