波斯特的成长岁月展开于哈勒姆那充满活力的艺术氛围之中,这座城市孕育了无尽的天才。他很可能从父亲和兄弟那里接受了最初的启蒙,吸收了他们在色彩、设计以及建筑原理方面的各自技艺。尽管缺乏正式的行会记录,但艺术界普遍认为彼得·德·莫林(Pieter de Molijn)曾担任他的导师,为他奠定了风景画的基础,这对于波斯特未来的事业至关重要。他在弗兰斯·哈尔斯(Frans Hals)所在的艺术圈层中活动,并与雅各布·范·吕斯达尔、萨洛蒙·范·吕斯达尔、阿德里安·范·奥斯塔德等哈勒姆风景画家有着深厚的艺术渊源。哈勒姆爆发的瘟疫或许是他远行的催化剂,但真正改变他艺术生涯轨迹的,是荷兰属巴西总督约翰·毛里茨·冯·纳绍-西根(Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen)发出的邀请。1637年,波斯特踏上了前往南美东北部的变革之旅,随身携带的不只有画笔与颜料,还有沉甸甸的使命——为欧洲观众视觉化地记录这片新获得的殖民领土。
