The industrial scaling up that gripped the post-war Netherlands also took place in the Caribbean Netherlands. The oil refinery of Shell, the British-Dutch company on Curaçao, is the subject of this painting: an industrial landscape with pipelines, cranes and ships. The cactus on the right identifies the landscape as Antillean.
