View of Mariana's Oord, taken from the Dome House of the Assistant Resident in Pontianak, 1800-1900: A Window into the Dutch Colonial Past of Pontianak, West Borneo. This watercolor painting by J.E. Ljung offers a glimpse into the colonial past of Pontianak, the trading port city in West Borneo, which was incorporated into the Dutch East Indies. The scene depicts Mariana's Oord or Marianne's Place, a Dutch settlement named after Queen Marianne of the Netherlands. The flat landscape is bathed in the soft light of a large, cloudy sky, with Dutch flags proudly flying atop buildings. The painting reveals the Dutch influence on the region, with European architecture, such as the Dome House of the Assistant Resident, standing out against the tropical backdrop. The bridge, jetties, and boats on the left bank of the Kapuas River indicate the importance of water transport in the area. The Landak River, which runs through the city, is also visible in the painting. The Dutch East Indies, also known as the Dutch Empire, was a significant colonial power in Asia during the 19th century. This painting serves as a testament to the Dutch presence in the region, showcasing the architecture, agriculture, and transportation methods that shaped the landscape of Pontianak. The use of watercolor paint adds to the painting's charm, capturing the vibrant colors of the tropical setting and the subtle nuances of the weather. The vanishing point perspective draws the viewer's eye into the painting, making it an engaging and immersive experience. Overall, this painting is an essential piece of heritage art that offers a unique perspective on the colonial history of Indonesia and the Dutch Empire.
