EDITORS COMMENTS
The Uytlught Country House, Colombo, c.1750, is an exquisite watercolor painting attributed to the Dutch artist B. van Lier. This masterpiece offers a captivating glimpse into the colonial past of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. The Dutch colonialists, represented by the Caucasian men in military uniforms, have constructed an impressive neoclassical country house, named De Uytvlught or "The Refuge," in the heart of Colombo. The painting showcases the grand entrance of the house, with its imposing gateway flanked by sentry boxes and two sentries standing guard. The neoclassical design, with its symmetrical façade, columns, and pediments, reflects the European influence on the architecture of the time. The lush greenery surrounding the house adds to its picturesque beauty, while the calm waters in the foreground create a sense of tranquility. The painting is believed to have been created during the 18th century, a time when the Dutch East India Company held significant influence over Ceylon. The Dutch colonialists, who arrived in the late 16th century, brought with them a rich artistic tradition, as evidenced by this stunning watercolor. The painting is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a testament to the enduring legacy of Dutch colonialism in Asia. The Uytlught Country House, Colombo, c.1750, is not only an important historical document but also a beautiful work of art that transports us back in time to a bygone era. The painting invites us to explore the complex history of colonialism, imperialism, and cultural exchange between Europe and Asia.
