"Tandjong East and Tandjong West, near Jakarta (Batavia) 1819"
Pen, ink and watercolour on paper, 24 X 35cm
the Admiraal Evertzen. After an eventful two years during which he saw active service
in Celebes and the Moluccas, VerHuell returned to Batavia in 1818. While waiting for his ship to be prepared for the return journey to Holland, he made several painting trips to Bogor and the environs of Batavia. VerHuell’s appreciation of the delights
of the Javanese landscape is evocatively described in his diary; below is an excerpt pertaining to the present watercolour:
While I was walking with my friend Baud in this lovely countryside to find a pictorial viewpoint under this pure sky, and under the impression of the entirety and freshness of nature, we came to the high banks of the fast-flowing river Tjilibong. Delighted, I sat down and took out my drawing pencil. The river flowed at my feet and meandered around a hill which was covered in trees and palms. On the hill was the manor house of Tanjong East and opposite on the high banks of the river the beautiful house Tandjong West surrounded by a forest of coconut trees with many straight trunks crowned by beautiful leaves. At the foot of these hills lay a pretty green meadow where cows grazed and some black tamarind trees, and in the foreground, lay the richest nature one can imagine.
He left Indonesia in 1819, but his leaking ship the Admiraal Evertzen came to grief at Diego Garcia. Huell lost most of his drawings and was also blamed for the disaster, being the captain on board. Back in Holland, he worked his remaining sketches into finished drawings and watercolours. Most of his watercolours of Indonesia now are in the collection of the Prins Hendrik Maritime Museum in Rotterdam, donated by VerHuell’s son to the museum in 1895. - Über Künstler
Quirijn Maurits Rudolph Ver Huell (auch Verhuell oder VerHuell, Zutphen 11. September 1787 – Arnheim 10. Mai 1860) war ein niederländischer Marineoffizier, Schriftsteller, Maler, Aquarellist und Entomologe.
Er trat in die Marine ein und stieg im französischen und später niederländischen Dienst von Dienstgrad zu Dienstgrad auf. Unter seinem Onkel Carel Hendrik Ver Huell kämpfte er gegen die Engländer. Kurz nach seiner Ernennung erhielt er den Militär-Wilhelms-Orden 3. Klasse für sein „Verhalten während des Feldzugs gegen die Aufständischen auf den Molukken“.
1839 wurde er Direktor und Kommandeur der Marine im Hauptdepartement Maas. Von 1834 bis 1850 war er Marinedirektor in Rotterdam.
Danach lebte er ohne Amt in Arnheim, wo er am 10. Mai 1860 starb. Im Jahr 1821 heiratete er Frau Christina Louisa Johanna Hester de Vaynes van Brakell (1796–1863), Aquarellistin, Mitglied der Familie De Vaynes van Brakell. Der Zeichner Alexander Ver Huell ist ihr Sohn.
