The Dutch Colonial Empire
1st June 2023
Glorious times of the colonies
When slavery was condoned by the churches
In the name of enlightenment and civilization
Africans would travel free no visa required
Shame is not a commodity
African woman and child by Albert Eckhout Brazil, dated 1641
The painting was donated to Frederik III King of Danemark and Norway in 1654
By Johan Maurits of Nassau-Siegen, General Governor of the Dutch Colony of Brazil 1637-44
