Chronique de l’année des tigres : Raden Saleh entre Paris et Dresde

Marie-Odette Scalliet, Leiden University Library Chronique de l’année des tigres: Raden Saleh entre Paris et Dresde In this short note, the author, a specialist of the Indonesian painter Raden Saleh, endeavours to track the history of several paintings made by the artist during the years of his stay in France. She comes to the conclusion that the large painting entitled “Boschbrand” had been a part of the collections of the king of Holland and therefore that this painting, of which nothing is presently known, might be looked for there. On the other hand, basing herself on detailed archived documents, she can assert that another canvas “Javanische Gegend, wo Tiger eine Gruppe Reisende belauschen”, which appeared in a Hong Kong auction in 2005, must be the one given by the painter to the Grand Duke Ernst II of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.Scalliet Marie-Odette.
