EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor print showcases the historic cityscape of New Amsterdam and Manhattan in the 17th century. Painted by an anonymous Dutch artist from the 17th century, this artwork measures 43.5x64.5 cm and is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. New Amsterdam was a significant Dutch colonial settlement located on the southern tip of Manhattan Island. Serving as the capital of New Netherland, a territory claimed by the Netherlands in 1609, it was established in 1625 under Henry Hudson's exploration efforts for the Dutch East India Company. The painting depicts a picturesque seaside village with charming Dutch houses lining its streets. This representation is believed to be based on Johannes Vingboons' earlier drawing when New Amsterdam fell into English hands and eventually transformed into what we now know as New York City. With its coastal charm and bustling port filled with ships engaged in maritime trade, this artwork offers us a glimpse into one of America's earliest settlements. The gables adorning these buildings add character to this vibrant scene along the coastline. As you admire this piece, let your imagination transport you back to a time when New Amsterdam thrived as a vital hub for navigation and commerce within North America. Experience firsthand how history unfolds through art with this remarkable portrayal of an iconic moment in American colonial history.
