"Navigation in Van Diemen's Land" is an artwork by Charles Alexandre Lesueur, a French naturalist and artist known for his detailed depictions of flora, fauna, and scenes from his travels during the early 19th century. Lesueur participated in the Baudin expedition to Australia from 1800 to 1804, which aimed to chart the coast of New Holland (now Australia) and study its natural history and indigenous peoples.

This particular work captures a moment in the exploration of Van Diemen's Land, the name by which Tasmania was known until 1856. The artwork is significant for its historical value, providing insight into the European exploration of Australia and the interactions between explorers and the natural environment during this period. Lesueur's attention to detail not only in the landscape but also in the depiction of the ship and its crew reflects the dual scientific and artistic objectives that were typical of expeditionary artwork of the time.

As an artist aboard the expedition, Lesueur's role was to document the journey visually, and "Navigation in Van Diemen's Land" serves as a visual record of the challenges and experiences faced by the crew. The artwork is one of many that resulted from the Baudin expedition and contributes to the broader understanding of early 19th-century exploration, navigation, and colonial encounters.

The piece is part of Lesueur's larger body of work, which is held in various collections around the world, including the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle du Havre in France. His contributions to natural history and ethnography through art have been recognized by historians and biologists, and his works continue to be of interest to those studying the history of science, art, and exploration.
