Painting Description
"View of the Bazaar at Coupang, Timor, from Voyage Autour du Monde sur les Corvettes de L'Uranie 1817-20" is an evocative engraving created by Pomel and published in 1825 by Alphonse Pellion. This artwork is part of a larger collection documenting the global circumnavigation undertaken by the French naval expedition led by Captain Louis de Freycinet aboard the corvettes L'Uranie and L'Physicienne between 1817 and 1820. The expedition aimed to conduct scientific research and gather ethnographic, botanical, and geographical data from various parts of the world.
The engraving captures a bustling scene at the bazaar in Coupang, a significant port town on the island of Timor, which was an important stop for maritime expeditions during the early 19th century. The detailed depiction of the marketplace provides valuable insights into the daily life, trade practices, and cultural interactions of the time. The bazaar is shown teeming with activity, featuring a diverse array of local inhabitants and traders, along with an assortment of goods and produce indicative of the region's economic and cultural exchanges.
Alphonse Pellion, who published the engraving, was an artist and draughtsman who accompanied the Freycinet expedition. His works, including this engraving, are notable for their meticulous attention to detail and their ability to convey the essence of the places and people encountered during the voyage. The publication "Voyage Autour du Monde sur les Corvettes de L'Uranie 1817-20" is a significant historical document that offers a visual and narrative account of the expedition's findings, contributing to the broader understanding of early 19th-century exploration and scientific inquiry.
The "View of the Bazaar at Coupang, Timor" stands as a testament to the rich cultural tapestry and vibrant commercial life of Timor during this period. It also reflects the broader objectives of the Freycinet expedition, which sought to expand European knowledge of distant lands and their inhabitants through detailed observation and artistic representation. The engraving remains a valuable artifact for historians, art enthusiasts, and scholars interested in the history of exploration and the cross-cultural interactions of the early 19th century.
