Painting Description
"Rose de Freycinet and her Husband Visiting Monsieur Tilleman at Coupang, Timor" is a historical artwork by Jacques Etienne Victor Arago, a French artist, writer, and explorer known for his illustrations documenting early 19th-century voyages. The painting captures a moment from the French circumnavigation expedition led by Louis Claude de Saulces de Freycinet aboard the ship Uranie from 1817 to 1820. Notably, this expedition included Rose de Freycinet, who clandestinely joined her husband on the voyage, becoming one of the first women to circumnavigate the globe.
The artwork is significant for its portrayal of Rose de Freycinet, an adventurous and determined figure who defied the conventions of her time. Her presence on the expedition was illegal and kept secret until the ship reached Gibraltar. Despite the challenges, she kept a detailed journal of her experiences, which provides a unique female perspective on the journey and the places visited, including the encounter depicted in Arago's painting at Coupang (now known as Kupang), on the island of Timor.
Jacques Etienne Victor Arago, who served as the official artist of the expedition, created the painting to document the various encounters and experiences of the crew. His works are valuable historical records of the early 19th-century exploration and provide insights into the cultural exchanges and observations made during these voyages. The painting of Rose and Louis de Freycinet visiting Monsieur Tilleman in Timor is one of the many illustrations that Arago produced, which later accompanied the published accounts of the expedition.
The painting is not only a testament to the artistic skill of Arago but also an important cultural artifact that reflects the broader themes of exploration, scientific discovery, and the role of women in maritime history. It is a visual representation of a moment when the boundaries of gender roles were being tested and expanded, embodied by Rose de Freycinet's remarkable journey around the world.
