EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Baroque artwork, titled "Sugar Mill," is a masterpiece by the renowned Flemish painter Frans Post (1612-1680). Painted in oil on wood, this exquisite piece showcases the rich history and culture of colonial Brazil in the early modern era. The painting depicts an idyllic scene of a sugar mill, located in Sao Paulo, Brazil, during the Mariana period. The mill, with its grand architectural design and intricate details, stands proudly against the backdrop of a lush, tropical landscape. The sugar mill is surrounded by palm trees, their fronds swaying gently in the daytime breeze. The sunlight filters through the trees, casting a warm, golden glow over the scene. The mill's edifice, with its intricate columns and ornate decorations, is a testament to the wealth and prosperity of the colonial era. The mill's chimney, billowing with smoke, symbolizes the industriousness and innovation of the time. Post's use of vibrant colors and horizontal composition adds to the panoramic effect of the painting, making it a breathtaking representation of the landscape and the colonial way of life. This artwork is a must-see for anyone interested in Western art history, landscapes, or the early modern era. The Maric Luisa and Oscar Americano Foundation in Sao Paulo, Brazil, is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its collection, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors.
