Pangeran Diponegoro: A Tale of Two Painters The Submission of Prince Dipo Negoro to General De Kock, on the right, was painted by Nicolaas Pieneman in 1835. Penangkapan Pangeran Diponegoro, on the left, was painted by Raden Saleh Syarif Bustaman, in 1857, as a respond of Pieneman's painting. The painting of Raden Saleh's is at the opposite of Pieneman's. In Raden Saleh's painting, Pangeran Diponegoro is on the left while in Pieneman's, he is on the right. General de Kock is painted on the left side of Pangeran Diponegoro and it is believed as the female side in Javanese. Pieneman painted Pangeran Diponegoro in a surrender gestures with weapons on the ground. Raden Saleh painted Pangeran Diponegoro in angry gestures of being fooled to negotiate with the Dutch. In Raden Saleh's, the head of the Dutch people is painted slighy bigger than their bodies to show the swollen head of the Dutch. There are four javanese men with blangkon in Raden Saleh's painting, and those men are believed to have the faces of Raden Saleh's, one of the supporters of Pangeran Diponegoro. Pieneman never went to Dutch Indies and he painted the story based on the sketches made by General de Kock. Raden Saleh was 22 years after the arrest and he painted the story as a respond to oppose Pieneman's painting, starting from the composition. _______________________ Kenya Studio 2019 SWIPE TO SEE THE PAINTINGS #radensaleh #pieneman #dutcheastindies #pangerandiponegoro #diponegoro https://www.instagram.com/p/Bul7_K5AInL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pc8esxt37obe
