新加坡最早的景象之一!

这是现存最早的新加坡景象之一,由欧仁·西塞里于1846年绘制,其灵感源自杜蒙·迪维尔(1790-1842)环球航行期间收集的原始草图和地图。这些草图创作于1839年6月27日至7月2日期间,当时迪维尔的船只“星盘号”和“泽利号”停靠在新加坡。
理解观点
从政府山(福康宁公园)向东望去,可以看到当时还很小的新加坡市区和港口。新加坡河从画面右侧流向港口。杰克逊桥横跨河流,通往一片大型围墙,那是爱德华·布斯泰德的仓库或货栈。一群身着马来服饰的男子在山丘西侧休憩。在新加坡河口,建于1830年的富勒顿堡清晰可见。港口附近那座颇具东方韵味的塔楼是法院大楼。
迪维尔的第三次远征(1837-1840年)
第二次航行刚结束,儒勒·塞巴斯蒂安·塞萨尔·迪蒙·迪维尔(1790-1842)便立即开始筹划第三次航行——这次的目标是南纬地区。尽管他本人也渴望探索热带地区(谁不想呢?),但路易·菲利普国王更希望法国能进行一次足以媲美库克船长在南极探险成就的探险之旅。他奉命将法国国旗尽可能地插在南极瓦德尔海的南端。船员们甚至被承诺,一旦抵达南纬75度,就能获得100法郎的奖金。 1837年9月,迪维尔率领的“星盘号”(Astrolabe)和查尔斯·雅克诺率领的“泽莱号”(Zélée)两艘船从土伦启航。途中,他们访问了新西兰、新加坡、澳大利亚、智利、巴西、特内里费岛、好望角等地。 1840年1月16日,他们穿越了南极辐合带,两天后便置身于一片冰封的南极海域。他们继续前行,在大地角升起了法国国旗。航行水文地理学家克莱门特·阿德里安·文森东-杜穆兰(1811-1858)绘制了一幅极其精确的海岸线地图。在那里,他们遇到了由查尔斯·威尔克斯(1798-1877)指挥的、雄心勃勃的美国探险队。随后,他们再次转向北方,在越过北极圈驶入温暖的南极海域时,船员们开香槟庆祝。回到法国后,迪维尔受到了热烈的欢迎,被晋升为海军少将,并被授予法国地理学会金质奖章——这是该学会的最高荣誉。两年后,迪维尔和他的家人在从凡尔赛前往巴黎的途中,遭遇了一场悲惨的火车脱轨事故——这是法国历史上首次火车脱轨事故——不幸遇难。
出版历史及藏品统计:
这幅画作由巴黎艺术家艾蒂安·欧仁·西塞里根据迪维尔探险队(1837-1840)于1839年收集的原始草图绘制而成。它由巴黎的蒂埃里兄弟公司雕刻印刷,并由纪德收录于迪维尔的《乘坐“星盘号”和“泽莱号”护卫舰南极及大洋航行记》( Voyage au pole sud et dans l'Océanie sur les corvettes l'Astrolabe et la Zélée )中。迪维尔的游记全集( 《风景画集》)及其单幅插图都极其稀少。我们在澳大利亚国家图书馆发现了一幅保存状况不佳的馆藏版本,新加坡图书馆管理局也收藏了一幅。
