About the artwork
The Batavia is a replica of a seventeenth-century mirror return ship that sank off the Australian coast in 1629. This Dutch showpiece was built between 1627 and 1628 at the Peperwerf in Amsterdam. But the original ship was not to enjoy a long life. The VOC ship Batavia sank in 1629 on a coral reef about 65 kilometers off the coast of Western Australia. More than 200 people survived the shipwreck and reached various small coral islands. During the absence of the chief merchantman, who had left to get help, a mutiny broke out among the survivors. Over the next three months, more than 100 men, women and children were killed. Many were thrown into the sea. About 80 victims were buried on the island called Batavia's Cemetery, now known as Beacon Island. Currently, the reconstruction of the ship is at the Bataviawerf in Lelystad and attracts many visitors each year. According to experts, the Batavia needs to be taken out of the water permanently, as she is threatened by rot and mold. If no action is taken, the Batavia may be in danger of perishing for a second time. A series of atmospheric pictures of this impressive piece of craftsmanship before the ravages of time get their grip on these nostalgic pictures.
