Description / Descripcion

Very uncommon view of the city of Jakarta in Indonesia in 1603 or 1604. With a Dutch fleet on the foreground. At that moment Bantam (Banten) was the base of operations for the Dutch East Indies Company (VOC). Governor J.P. Coen decided in 1619 that Jakatra, later Batavia, would be a more suitable base for the VOC on Java than Bantam and proceeded to capture this city. The Sultan of Mataram, under whom Jakatra fell, naturally did not agree with this and resisted fiercely. He formed an alliance with the English present in the city and the Sultan of Bantam. However, internal disagreement ensured that Coen managed to capture the city for the Dutch after all.

After the conquest, the entire city was burned down, rebuilt and renamed Batavia.
