About the Item
GOVERT VAN EMMERIK (1808-1882)
View on the Governor’s Palace in Paramaribo, Surinam
Signed and dated 1856
Oil on canvas, 70 x 90 cm
In large gilt-wood gesso frame.
Note:
In the centre of the painting is the Governor’s Palace of Paramaribo, the capital of Surinam, a late 18th-century wooden classicist building. To the right the late 17th century Fort Zeelandia. On the river, a three-master, a pondo with two rowers, used to transport products from the plantations to Paramaribo, a tent-boat in which plantation owners let themselves be rowed over the river and at the left two moored two-masters. Govert van Emmerik, born in Dordrecht in 1808, was a pupil of P. Hofman and the marine painter P.J.Schotel. In 1852 he moved to Hamburg where he remained till his death in 1892. He regularly visited Holland but is not known to have ever been in Surinam, so this painting must have been made after a print or drawing of the Governor’s Palace in Paramaribo. Between 1852 and 1855 Johan George Otto Stuart von Schmidt auf Altenstadt was Governor in Paramaribo and possibly he commissioned this painting after his return to Holland in 1856.

Village of Iseh, Bali (1948)

Oil on canvas, 68.5 x 50 cm
In original frame carved by the artist.
Note:
Theo Meier arrived in Bali in 1936 with the intention of going on to Tahiti where he had been before. However Bali turned out to be the paradise he had been searching for in his dreams and he had no desire any more to move elsewhere. Bali at that time was still a very traditional place where society lived according to an acient religious system and in a luscious tropical setting the modern world was ignored. Here he met Walter Spies...
