Gezicht op havenstad Ampenan 1843 - 1845

"Gezicht op havenstad Ampenan" is a lithograph print by Paulus Lauters, created between 1843 and 1845. The artwork depicts a harbor town, likely in Indonesia, with a large ship in the center and smaller boats in the foreground. The mountainous background and calm water create a serene atmosphere, highlighting the beauty of the harbor. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the artwork stands as a historical record of Dutch colonial presence in Indonesia during the 19th century. The print is a testament to Lauters' skill in capturing the essence of a specific place and time through his detailed and accurate depiction of the landscape and the ships.
