"Inside Barents' House on Novaya Zemlya" is a historical engraving by Theodore de Bry, a noted 16th-century Flemish engraver and publisher. The work is part of a series of engravings that depict the harrowing experiences of Dutch explorer Willem Barentsz and his crew, who became stranded on the Arctic island of Novaya Zemlya during their third expedition in search of the Northeast Passage in 1596.

The engraving portrays the interior of the makeshift shelter, known as Het Behouden Huys (The Saved House), where Barentsz and his men spent the winter after their ship was trapped and crushed by pack ice. The detailed illustration captures the crew's daily life under extreme conditions, including their interactions, the use of improvised tools and equipment, and the strategies they employed to survive the harsh Arctic environment.

Theodore de Bry's work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing a visual narrative of 16th-century exploration and the challenges faced by explorers. "Inside Barents' House on Novaya Zemlya" serves as a testament to the human spirit and the drive for exploration, despite the perilous risks involved.

This engraving is part of a larger collection of travel narratives and illustrations compiled by de Bry and his family, known as "Grand Voyages" or "America." These works played a crucial role in shaping European perceptions of the New World and other remote regions during the Age of Discovery. De Bry's engravings are celebrated for their intricate detail and have been instrumental in documenting the era's exploration history for future generations.
