Abstract
Using Johannes Vingboons’ painting gezicht op Batavia as a window into the history of VOC controlled Batavia between 1595 - 1795. It will reveal a segment of history dominated by the Dutch. The research will be split in three main chapters that derive their topic from the different elements that are depicted in the painting.
