About the piece
Painted around 1860 by Raden Saleh, this evocative work depicts a weathered stone temple in Java, reclaimed by the landscape. Saleh, a pioneering Indonesian romanticist painter, expertly uses soft light and luminous clouds to create a sense of timeless tranquility, while small figures in the foreground provide a sense of scale and human connection to the ancient site.
