"Veer: A Journey through Time and Space" Step into the world of "veer, " where history, adventure, and exploration intertwine. From the hunting walrus in William Barents' Arctic expeditions to the bustling streets of Bombay in 1870, this word takes us on a captivating journey. In an engraving from "The Three Voyages of William Barents to the Arctic Regions, " we witness the bravery and determination of explorers as they navigate treacherous icy waters. The slender spars of their fishing fleet veer with the tide, ready for whatever challenges lie ahead. Captured in a black-and-white photograph by V Sackville-West, we glimpse a moment frozen in time. All along Veer Nariman Street in Mumbai (formerly Churchgate), life unfolds with its vibrant energy and rich cultural tapestry. Traveling back further, an engraving titled "The Madman of Corinth" reminds us that even within chaos lies beauty. It veers our attention towards introspection and contemplation amidst adversity. As we delve deeper into history, Gerrit de Veer's artwork reveals the humble hut where William Barents' crew wintered during their Arctic expedition. In 1596-1597 (1598), they braved freezing temperatures while their ship navigated among icebergs – a testament to human resilience against nature's might. Rotterdam comes alive through Hendrik Altmann's view of Laurenskerk at Binnenrotte and Abraham Storck's perspective from northeast Rotterdam. These images veer our gaze towards architectural marvels standing tall against changing times. Reinier Zeeman's etchings transport us across waterways - from Leiden to Naarden - aboard ferries known as "Het Leytsche veer" and "Het Naerder veer. " These scenes evoke a sense of tranquility as boats gently veer through calm waters, connecting communities and fostering unity.
