Gezicht op de heuvel Batu Medjah in Ambon 1843 - 1845

"Gezicht op de heuvel Batu Medjah in Ambon" (View of Batu Medjah Hill in Ambon), a lithograph created by Paulus Lauters between 1843 and 1845, depicts a serene landscape in Ambon, Indonesia. The artwork showcases Lauters's signature style of detailed rendering, capturing the lush greenery and rolling hills of the region. The presence of figures in the foreground adds a human element to the composition, suggesting the daily life of the locals in Ambon. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the natural beauty of Ambon during the mid-19th century, reflecting the growing interest in landscape art and exploration during that era.
