The Canal at โs-Graveland, Pieter Gerardus van Os, 1818
In 1817 the Amsterdam merchant Herman Waller com-missioned Van Os to paint two prospects of the village of โs-Graveland, where Waller had a country house. Van Os painted this scene either from a window in Wallerโs house or from the local inn. This high vantage point afforded an unusual perspective. The diagonal view of the โs-Graveland canal also includes the garden, with a gardener and two dogs.

Dozens of white South Africans have arrived in the US, where they'll be granted refugee status as victims of โracial discrimination.โ
Meanwhile, white South Africans make up 8% of the country's population while owning nearly 75% of all private land.
This comes at a time when the Trump administration has ended Temporary Protected Status for refugees from active war zones like Afghanistan, Cameroon and Haiti.
