介绍（中）	马滕斯在蒙得维的亚绘制了这幅画，在那里他接受了Beagle号船上为期两年的地形艺术家职位，以勘测巴塔哥尼亚和火地岛的海岸（查尔斯·达尔文是公司的一员）。当地的细节也包括在内，比如悬崖顶上的大教堂、炮台和右侧满载船只的港口，但艺术家更感兴趣的是光线和天气的如画效果。他使用了紫蓝色、灰色和棕色的调色板来暗示热带气候，并定义了海岸山丘、乳白色的海浪和高耸的云层。流畅的洗涤和大气效果证明了Copley Fielding的功劳，他曾在英国教过Martens。罗伯特·菲茨罗伊（Robert Fitzroy）的《1826年至1836年间国王陛下的船只探险和小猎犬号的勘测之旅的叙述》（Narrative of the Surveying Voyages of His Majesty’s Ships Adventure and Beagle）描述了他们对南美洲南部海岸和小猎犬环球航行的考察，1839年，伦敦。
介绍（英）	Martens made this drawing at Montevideo, where he accepted a two-year position as topographical artist on the ship Beagle, to survey the coasts of Patagonia and Tierra de Fuego (Charles Darwin was one of company). Local details are included, such as the cathedral atop a cliff, the battery, and ship-filled harbor at right, but the artist's greater interest was in picturesque effects of light and weather. He employed a palette of violet-blue, gray, and brown to suggest a tropical climate and define coastal hills, milky ocean waves, and towering clouds. Smoothly executed washes and atmospheric effects demonstrate a debt to Copley Fielding, who had taught Martens in England. This view was later engraved, with a bullock cart added in the foreground, for Robert Fitzroy's "Narrative of the Surveying Voyages of His Majesty's Ships Adventure and Beagle between the years 1826 and 1836, describing their examination of the Southern Shores of South America and the Beagle's Circumnavigation of the Globe," London, 1839.
