Plantation is an English equivalent of 'plantage'.

One of the most aesthetic uses of the word occurs in the title of the earliest known painting of Suriname. The painting, 'Plantage in Surinam' [Plantation in Surinam], shows Suriname back in its early years as a Dutch colony. It was painted in 1707 by Amsterdam artist Dirk van Valkenburg [1675-1721]. Amsterdam merchant Jonas Witsen [May 7, 1676-May 31, 1715] commissioned the painting. Witsen owned three plantations in the Dutch colony. Rijksmuseum Amsterdam bought 'Plantage in Surinam' in 1962.
