Description
Nederlands: De VOC-ambtenaar Isaac Titsingh (1745-1812) is een pionier op het gebied van het verzamelen van kennis over Azië. Als ambassadeur bezoekt hij China en Japan waar hij driemaal de functie van opperhoofd bekleedt. Hij correspondeert in betrekkelijke vrijheid met Japanse tolken en wetenschappers en wisselt kennis uit. Daarnaast is hij de eerste Europeaan die er in slaagt een grote verzameling Japanse voorwerpen naar Europa te brengen. Titsingh heeft een leergierig karakter en staat open voor nieuwe dingen en dat komt hem goed van pas in zijn carrière. Deze afbeelding afkomstig uit Voyage de l’ambassade door Braam van Houckgeest, toont de ontvangst van ambassadeur Titsingh in de Chinese stad Kanton. Titsingh is de zittende figuur met de hoed (rechts). Naast hem zit zijn collega A.E. van Braam Houckgeest (links).
English: VOC representative Isaac Titsingh (1745-1812) was a pioneer in the field of collecting information on Asia. As ambassador, he visited China and Japan. In Japan he held the position of supreme headman or ‘Opperhoofd’ three times. He corresponded in relative freedom with Japanese interpreters and scientists, with whom he exchanged information. In addition, he was the first European to succeed in bringing a large collection of Japanese objects to Europe. Titsingh was inquisitive by nature and had an open mind for new things, which served him well in his career. This picture, taken from Voyage de l’ambassade by A.E. van Braam Houckgeest, features the reception of ambassador Titsingh in the Chinese city of Canton. Titsingh is the figure sitting, with hat (right), and next to him is his colleague Van Braam Houckgeest (left).
