Andreas Riis Carstensen created beautiful maritime scenes during his lifetime, one of which was this scenic view of the Charlotte Amalie harbor in St. Thomas.
It's breathtaking!
On one of his visits to St. Thomas, he gave a fascinating lecture at the Apollo theatre entertaining the crowds with his paintings and stories of his visit to the Nile River. ~ 1903
He spoke for two hours about Egyptian history including their customs, religions, and hieroglyphics.
"One could almost follow him in his journey up the Nile."
"One could almost follow him in his journey up the Nile."
This beautiful painting with the harbor of steamers and inter-island sloops captures a moment in time when the island was flourishing due to its strategic location on the trade route.
The verdant hillsides and trees contrasted against the red brick walls of Fort Christian give the image a vibrancy that lives on.
