Biography:
Albert Eckhout established himself as a painter while on a Dutch expedition to Brazil from 1637 to 1644. On this trip, Eckhout and other artists accompanied Johan Maurits, the Dutch governor –general, and documented the country’s plants, animals, and people. Upon their return to Holland, Maurits commissioned him to produce a painting series that depicted the things they saw in South America. This series was given to Louis XIV in 1679. The Gobelins Tapestry Manufactory also used them as designs.
