Abstract

Johannes Timmers nam op 17 juli 1781 dienst bij de Verenigde OostIndische Compagnie. Twee maanden later vertrok hij met zijn gelijknamige neef vanaf Texel naar Batavia. Maar de Engelse oorlogsschepen blokkeerden de kust en hun schip Holland moest al snel terugkeren. Een jaar later vertrok de VOC-vloot alsnog. De reis die ze maakten, is vastgelegd in een journaal dat in twee versies is overgeleverd. Het verhaalt van de spannende reis van de Holland via Kaap de Goede Hoop en Mauritius naar Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Daar ging Timmers junior aan land, terwijl Timmers senior doorvoer naar Batavia. Hij kwam in november 1784 in Nederland terug. Het persoonlijke reisverslag, versierd met fraaie tekeningen, is door Lodewijk Wagenaar en Nel Klaversma uitgegeven, met annotaties en een inleiding over de historische achtergronden. Zij zijn oud-medewerkers van het Amsterdam Museum dat de twee handschriften in 1998 verwierf

Abstract

"Focusing on travel images and cross-cultural exchange, examines interactions between the Ottoman Empire and Europeans from 1774 to 1839, highlighting mutual dependence and reciprocity"--Provided by publisher. In this volume, Elisabeth Fraser shows that artists and the works they created in the Mediterranean during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries were informed by mutual dependence and reciprocity between European nations and the Ottoman Empire. Her rich exploration of this vibrant cross-cultural exchange challenges the dominant interpretation of European relations with the East during the period, revealing a shared world of fluid and long-sustained interactions. Voyagers to and from the Ottoman Empire documented their journeys in prints, paintings, and lavishly illustrated travelogues; many of these helped define Europe's self-identified role as heir to Ottoman civilizations and bolstered its presence in the Islamic Mediterranean and beyond. Fraser finds that these works illuminate not only how travelers' experiences aborad were more nuanced than the expansionist ideology with which they became associated, but also how these narratives depicted the vitality of Ottoman culture and served as extensions of Ottoman diplomacy. Ottomans were aware of and responded to European representations, using them to defend Ottoman culture and sovereignty. In embracing the art of both cultures and setting these works in a broader context, Fraser challenges the historiographical tradition that sees Ottoman artists adopting European modes of art in a one-sided process of "Europeanization." Theoretically informed and rigorously researched, this cross-cultural approach to European and Ottoman art sheds much-needed critical light on the widely disseminated travel images of the era - important cultural artifacts in their own right - and provides a fresh and inviting understanding of the relationships among cultures in the Mediterranean during an era of increasing European expansionism. ; from dust jacket.
