Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Title in English is: Viewing Cabinets of Surinam: the Dioramas of Gerrit Schouten. Gerrit Schouten (1779-1839) was a Surinamese artist, who became famous for his painted papier-mache dioramas of Surinamese life. He was the first Creole working as a professional artist. In 1835, he offered a butterfly painting to William, Prince of Orange during his visit to Suriname. Later he was awarded a gold medal by the House of Orange for his artwork. Schouten's paper representations show the landscape of plantations, the architecture of Paramaribo and the way of life of various population groups. The author places these works in the time of their origin. Paperback. The plastic covering means the book has been unread. 3D photos and glasses included.
