Lot Essay

"[…] Big and important is the landscape, the mountains, and the plateau. Of lesser importance are the human imprints on the landscape: the Hindu temples in the valley and the Dutch outpost on the rim."

(Werner Krauss on View of Dieng Plateau, Raden Saleh: The Beginning of Modern Indonesian Painting, Goethe-Insititut Indonesien, 2012, P. 342)
