About this Item

Title

  • Raden Saleh (1814-1880), Painter in Batavia.

Other Title

  • Raden Saleh (1814-1880), schilder te Batavia

Summary

  • This photograph depicts Raden Saleh (1807-80), regarded by many scholars as the first modern artist from the Dutch East Indies. Saleh was born into a noble Javanese family and studied with a Belgian artist in the West Javan city of Bogor before going to study in the Netherlands. He spent 20 years in Europe before returning to his native country, where he lived for the remainder of his life, painting landscapes, local aristocrats, and conceptions of Javanese history. Saleh's paintings reflect the romanticism popular in Europe at the time, but also the influence of his own Indonesian culture and heritage. The photograph is from the collections of the KITLV/Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies in Leiden.
