EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print, titled "A South View of the Wesleyan Mission House, Colombo on the Island of Ceylon, Erected Anno Domini 1816" takes us back to the early nineteenth century in Asia. Painted by P. van Houten in 1816, this artwork measures 22.2 x 45.1cm and is now part of a private collection. The scene depicted showcases a bustling street outside the mission house, with a large group of people going about their daily lives. Men and women can be seen walking along the road, some using sedan chairs for transportation. The architecture of the building exterior is beautifully detailed, reflecting both its historical significance and architectural style. The vibrant watercolours bring to life the scenic beauty of Colombo during this time period. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical activity happening on the streets but also provides an overview of daily life in Ceylon at that time. This artwork offers viewers a glimpse into history and invites contemplation about how life has changed over centuries in this region. It serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical documentation. Overall, this watercolour print presents an engaging snapshot from another era – one that transports us to early nineteenth-century Ceylon while showcasing fine artistry and capturing everyday scenes with great attention to detail.
