Verbrande Hoek, lavaveld op de berg van Ternate 1821 - 1826

"Verbrande Hoek, lavaveld op de berg van Ternate" is a watercolor painting created by Dutch artist Jannes Theodorus Bik between 1821 and 1826. The painting showcases the volcanic landscape of Ternate, an island in the Maluku Islands, Indonesia. It depicts a mountain with a large crater and a lava field in the foreground, painted in muted tones of grey and green. Bik's depiction of the volcanic landscape reflects the influence of Romanticism, a movement that emphasized nature's power and grandeur. The painting offers a glimpse into the volcanic beauty of Ternate and the artistic sensibilities of the early 19th century.
