About the piece

Painted in 1860 by the pioneering Indonesian artist Raden Saleh, this work is a superb example of the Romantic tradition applied to Southeast Asian landscapes. It captures the sublime scale of the Javanese jungle with masterful detail, from the textured bark of massive trees to the intricate ferns and tangled vines of the understory, all bathed in a dramatic, atmospheric light.
