Cornelis de Bruin (De Bruyn, Le Brun, Lebrun) (1652-1726), "Holländ. Zeichner und Asien-Reisender (...) reiste 1701-08 durch Russland und Persien (...) nach Ost-Indien. Auf der schon häufig begangenen Wegen in Persien (...) wusste er doch viel Neues, auch naturwissenschaftlich, zu beobachten, und seine Reisebeschreibung, die Gebriel eine der besten aus jener Zeit nennt, verdiente wohl eine kritische Analyse und Würdigung. (...)." (Henze I, p.378/379). Imposing large panoramic views of i.a. Moscow (28,5x187 cm.) and Isfahan (29x190 cm.). As the author states in his introduction to both works, he has aimed at depicting the sites and towns that he describes true to life and not, as he writes, based on verbal descriptions given by others.
