 BVGF - A Obra / Opúsculos
Paradoxically, the Nassau spirit was always present in the mind of this Lusophile who, as a historian, had never been convinced by the critical assessment of the way in which Portugal had colonized Brazil.
It is remarkable how sensitive Johan Maurits was a European to the need to adapt not only the policy of his government but also the whole complex matter of the relationship of a northern European culture to a non-European environment, by making a vast effort of adjustment and even to understand the differences.
Johan Maurits was thus seen to be going out to meet a popular superstition, associating himself with it and linking the name of the 'Flamengo', as the Brazilian people called him, forever with the glorification of the ox, the peasant's workmate.

It was originally built for Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen (also called “The Brazilian”), who was both governor of the Dutch West India Company’s short-lived colony in Brazil and Eckhout’s patron there.
This small exhibition included all 21 paintings that are currently attributed to Eckhout, but only six of his drawings, hundreds of which have survived.
It is unfortunate that this exhibition, which was both a homecoming (Eckhout’s paintings, now in the museum in Copenhagen, have been in Danish collections since 1654) and an overdue tribute, is accompanied by a catalogue that does so little to place the artist and his work into the larger context of seventeenth-century Dutch art.
