Post painted a wealth of images of the Brazilian landscape and the surrounding vegetation and wildlife. His works are some of the earliest European paintings of Brazil and were eagerly reproduced in print by Dutch engravers. This sweeping panorama of the Dutch town of Mauritzstad is derived from a painting done by Post. The town of Mauritzstad was founded by Nassau as his principle residence.
