Painting Description
"Interior of a House in Coupang, Timor" is an engraving created by artists Lerouge and Forget, and published in 1825 by Alphonse Pellion. This artwork is part of the larger collection titled "Voyage Autour du Monde sur les Corvettes de l'Uranie 1817-20," which translates to "Voyage Around the World on the Corvettes of the Uranie 1817-20." The collection documents the extensive exploratory voyage led by French naval officer Louis de Freycinet, who commanded the corvettes Uranie and Physicienne on a scientific expedition around the globe.
The engraving provides a detailed depiction of the interior of a traditional house in Coupang, a town located on the island of Timor in Southeast Asia. The artwork captures the architectural and cultural elements of the local Timorese lifestyle during the early 19th century. The interior scene is meticulously illustrated, showcasing the construction materials, furniture, and everyday objects that were typical of the period and region. The attention to detail in the engraving reflects the broader goals of the expedition, which aimed to document and study the diverse cultures, flora, fauna, and geography encountered during the voyage.
Alphonse Pellion, the publisher, was an artist and naval officer who participated in the expedition. His contributions to the visual documentation of the journey were significant, as they provided European audiences with some of the first visual representations of remote and exotic locales. The engravings from this collection, including "Interior of a House in Coupang, Timor," are valuable historical records that offer insights into the early 19th-century European perspectives on the wider world.
The publication of these engravings in 1825 allowed for a broader dissemination of knowledge and fostered a greater understanding of the diverse cultures and environments encountered by the expedition. Today, these works are appreciated not only for their artistic merit but also for their historical and ethnographic significance.
