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.
Wikimedia
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.

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.

Greetings friend @grebmot
My favorite painter is Armando Reverón.
A Venezuelan who was born to love the art of painting, and who always showed a style different from others. Nature gave him a respite and a new source of inspiration, his works led him to be considered among the most important of Venezuela, along with Arturo Michelena and Martin Tovar y Tovar.

Hello everyone!!
The painter that I present is Carlos "Cejota" from Villacura. I have seen his art since I was little, since he lives next door to my mom... In every house in the area there is a painting or carving by this artist. He had a fresh, colorful style and always captured the traditions of our country.

He was such a noble man that every year he held parties to celebrate Children's Day, and gave away paintings as prizes.
At Christmas he painted some walls with drawings, I remember that once he painted a Saint Nicholas on the wall of my house!!
But the main reason why all the neighbors have their art is because he had AIDS and in order to pay the costs of his illness he sold his paintings and carvings.

There's definitely some special sauce going on with this one. I've been staring at the painting for a while now, a bit like I was looking for a set of lost keys.

Ivan Aivazovsky: Azure Grotto, Naples 1841
I'm not the right person to make any value judgements about art, at least beyond personal taste, but I enjoy this one. If I were forced to articulate why I'd probably sound like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas, critiquing his mom's painting. "One dog goes one way, the other dog goes the other way."
Can't say much about Ivan Aivazovsky as a person, or his larger body of work for that matter. I just stumbled upon him more or less by accident.

He is a master in choosing the colours to show the drama of natural disaster and also the beauty of that power. This painting always made me stun and think, what those people think when they were floating on that wooden wreck of ship. Seeing such beauty of night, sun coming down the horizon did they fear of darkness of night or they hoped to see the full moon, who knows.
As to the "Prisoners" it is really sad painting, even the colours were chosen in such palette that make people sad watching that.

Yeah, I noticed. He manages to give nature a lot of personality. Large and in charge!
I'm not sure if I would call the Van Gogh painting sad, but it's hard for me to describe. In a sense it almost seems like page taken from an experimental comic book. Or a cartoon for that matter. A little bit of music might change the tone completely.

Generally, but not necessarily. There's this infamous japanese manga artist who specializes this fucked up stuff, truly, but then in real life he's more or less just a goofy sweatheart who throws cat poses. Meanwhile you've got someone like Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli fame, known for dozens of heartfelt movies about little girls having quirky adventures, and the man talks like he was part of that soccer team that crashed into the Andes Mountains.

The Azure Grotto reminds me of those in Malta. Perhaps the blue there is closer to turquoise? There are some caves where they filmed The Blue Lagoon and some James Bond. I forgot which one since I always fall asleep if a James Bond film is playing.

I checked on Google and he is certainly recognized as a painter who marked the history of your country.
With my Western eyes, when I saw the image you shared, it seemed like a caricature because of the clean lines and the wonderful simplicity with which he can express his vision.
It speaks to me of the power of art to become a spokesperson for serious situations, making social denunciation.

Ma'am, there was a terrible famine in our country in the year 1776 during the British rule. Where about 10 million people died due to food shortage. And Zainul Abedin, the greatest painter of Bangladesh, highlighted the horror of the famine at that time. He painted many pictures of the famine with his extraordinary drawing talent. The picture I shared is one of those paintings.

Hi.....

Its beautiful painting of Anna Molka Ahmed the first Pakistan painter, although I have limited knowledge about the art and painting. But I truly liked her painting. In a delicately she painted old tree which represent the village civilization old people sit together and did a lot of gossiping the problem of people were solved there.
Moreover the scene of village which represent the cool and calm environment perhaps she wanted to show the simple culture of village and its beauty in her own way which is really attractive for me I have seen her many painting but I liked this one because I love village culture love and its value and yeah these are clearly seen in her art work. Simply its mind blowing for us and I am proud of her art work bring first Pakistani painter and female.

Seems like a weird thing to get mad about. Especially coming from the culture that came up with the Kamasutra. On the other hand, India appears to be somewhat rigid in ways I don't really understand. Or as a westerner, I guess. Take the no kissing in movies kind of thing, for example.

Some might say I'm a colorful person, but I'm not a person of color. If that's what you're asking ;-)
Could be classism, totally. To be fair though, I think we've got a little bit of that going on as well. My dad was a plumber and I remember stumbling upon a giant painting he did on a large piece of drywall. Must've been in the wake of my parent's divorce. I didn't even know he could do that and for all I can tell it was the only painting he ever did. He never even mentioned it, despite having talent. Being an artist? Might as well could've told him to become an astronaut. Seriously.
Then you've got plenty of college educated snobs, who sneer at the thought of working class people doing their own art. Like legit dirt shoveling, straight from the construction site type of beer drinking blue-collar workers. Could be because they're not adhering to implied rules and regulations, like in terms of what constitutes being a proper "artiste", or just them potentially ruining the scam. You know, the whole Wizard of Oz, don't mind the man behind the curtain type of thing. Unless you're legitimately undeniably great, but ironically enough they then might end up building a phantasmagoria around you. Because you couldn't just be a guy, you know?
Personally I recall a rare visit to big art store. It sounds absurd, but it really felt like I was having a fever dream. Each way I looked I saw guys wearing black turtle necks and french berets smugly jibber jabber about their paint brushes and who knows what. Then a frigid looking woman would walk by and winkle her nose at a mom browsing magic markers and mumble some thinly veiled insult. It was weird. Not even good weird, just weird. Back home I felt dirty. So much so I almost trashed my own art. I can't properly articulate the sentiment, but I just stood there hovering over my doodles in silence. Like some kind of conflicted farmer with a revolver in his hand, thinking about putting down a sick horse.

Like Michelangelo Husain is remembered for his paintings and also photographs (most likely seen in the same line) and film making. Perhaps this fame overshadowed all his other creations? I wonder if it is caused by what is promoted first.
Strange how his antics never made him world famous. 🤔

There are many paintings I could choose from, but I really enjoy staring at Leonardo DaVinci's "Lady with an Ermine."
It's an oil painting of a woman holding an ermine . She looks focused on something in the distance and I can't quite tell what she's looking at. She's studying her subject very carefully with a very subtle and calm expression on her face.
Leonardo DaVinci's understanding of anatomy and intricate details along with the ability to make viewers ponder on what she's looking at makes this painting really special.

It's not an ermine these are very tiny animals. What you see is a ferret. The white ones were the pets and kept long before cats.
A nice choice.

This is a painting of a Forest road from my favorite painter Ben Enwonwu (1921-1994) who was a Nigerian sculptor and painter, and a father of modern African art.
This particular painting is very unique, it reminds me of my village in Nigeria where we pass through a road like this to get to the stream and fetch water.

I would love to see his sculptures.😁
I love the colours and this one would fit in my house (most walls are empty - also because I fear they come down).
🍀♥️👍

Don't know if this is going to make sense, but it's interesting how something seemingly exotic might feel reminiscent of a childhood memory to others. Makes me wonder about my own memories and things you might consider exotic.

Cometí un error al escribir. Por favor, olvida lo del taller. Solo deseo saber si puedo hablar sobre un pintor moderno en el post de @grebmot. Lo pregunto, porque sus obras están publicadas en facebook, y otros blogs, cuyas imágenes no sé si son de dominio público.

I'm not sure about posting copyrighted material, but I suppose there's no harm in talking about it and linking a facebook page. Shouldn't be an issue as long as it's safe. Or as far as I'm concerned, at least.
Just be careful about sharing or clicking anything sketchy.

There is no end in sight, and there are people in front and behind, locked and unable to escape from the cage.

Leonardo da Vinci, is my one my best painters, I love most of his paintings because they look real and they are mostly iconic. This particular painting shows the baptism of Jesus Christ.
When Jesus Christ was baptized a Dove appeared at that spot. Is an unforgettable day for christians.

Sorry, I forgot to hit the 'send' button while searching for some extra info.
Jesus was baptized in the river Jordan or? To me this doesn't look real but an interpretation of someone (not necessary the painter's) most likely the one who hired him to paint this - The Roman Catholic Church he despised). It is a painting full of symbolism and with a message. Holy, saints but thr most important thing (baptizing in a river and what Jezus saw) is not painted. We see what should be projected ( kind of) and what we like to see.
Michelangelo Buonarotti was gay. He despised the Catholic church, his last boyfriend was 34 years younger, he never saw a naked woman unless it was a corpse he stole and painted naked men with the head of a female (the anatomy). There was even a painter called the "trouser painter" who had to cover all the naked Michelangelo presented.
The last judgement is a great painting because? It was cleaned in the 90s and we see some interesting parts of his life. Kissing men (old with young) going to heaven, a not too filled with love look of Maria as she looks at her son. Also the female poet is present who is the leader of a group fighting the Roman Catholic church (good enough to be followed by the inquisition and if caught be judged as a witch and die on the stakes! A witch was everyone with an opiniin and against the Catholic church. ).
So it's not realism we face but symbolism and Michelangelo Buonarotti left many messages behind and for sure they can be found in all his paintings but it depends on our knowledge of history (life back then, with how many a painting was painted, the wars, fights against the rulers, the average attitude against artists) if we can see the true colours.
Perhaps you can translate this Dutch article about 'The last judgement'.

Catholic and Roman Catholic back then were/isn't the same but it seems they still rule (and what a wealth Vatican city has...).
A great day to you and thanks for joining.
