Raden Saleh Syarif Bustaman (1807-1880), a pioneer of Indonesian painting during the Dutch East Indies.
Raden Saleh created paintings in the style of European romanticism combined with elements of Javanese cultural roots.
The Arrest of Prince Diponegoro (Dutch: Gevangenname van Prins Diponegoro) was created in 1857.

Prince Diponegoro is depicted with his face turned upwards, as his followers cry, and beside him stands the arrogant-looking de Kock.
The Diponegoro War or the Java War against the Dutch lasted for almost five years, between 1825 and 1830. The guerrilla warfare method of Prince Diponegoro and his troops was very troublesome for the colonial government.
On March 28, 1830, Prince Diponegoro went to the house of the Kedu Resident in Magelang to fulfill the Dutch invitation to discuss the possibility of a truce. However, Pangeran Diponegoro was arrested and exiled.
I love it! I was looking up Raden Saleh and felt pleasantly surprised. You can really see his progress and I think his landscapes in particular are beautiful. Same with the few naval paintings I've seen thus far.
Usually we don't hear much about Indonesian history, or the Dutch colonial empire for that matter and its impact on Southeast Asia.
Honestly, I've also just admired Raden Saleh, giving me new knowledge that Indonesia has extraordinary artists.
We have made me dive further into the history of my own people, thank you for this community event.
I like these works, especially the things related to planes and perspectives, as well as the colors. This is definitely a great artist; I have already entered him for my "Art and Writing" contest.

Se puede decir que el arresto del Principe fue una trampa, ya que fue en son de paz, fue en representación política para discutir una posible tregua pero fue arrestado y exiliado, eso fue una total traición, algo un poco bajo del contrincante.
Al final de todo esto quien gano la guerra? Valio la pena el sacrificio del principe?
Buen artista, hermosa pintura.
In the end, Prince Diponegoro was moved to Fort Rotterdam in Makassar, South Sulawesi. It was there that Prince Diponegoro died on January 8, 1855, at the age of 69.
It was for me discovery of this artist, he captured a moment of history and it is done with a lot of love to both his historical time and to art, how he paid attention to figures, their position, clothes, the feeling that it is something important been discussed.
Thanks for your detailed observation on the beauty of the painting @stef1
There have been many artists who have re-created the historical events of their nations through their works, which I find very interesting, because sometimes a picture says more than a thousand words.
