Note:
The title is according to a text on the back of a photograph by Willem Imandt of the same view; see: Paul van der Velde, Willem Imandt, 1882-1967, De Indische Romantiek van een Zeeuws-Vlaamse schilder, Zeeuws Tijdschrift, jaargang 65, no. 1-2, 2015, p. 34).
Born in the Netherlands, Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, Willem Imandt arrived in Indonesia in 1908 where he worked as a school teacher in primary and secondary schools, also giving drawing lessons. He painted in his free time and travelled around the Archipelago to paint its magical nature; volcanoes, waringin trees, seashores and temple ruins. This view of the Merapi and Meraboe vulcanos Imandt painted at least three times. His ability to depict the mystical atmosphere of Indonesia remains unrivalled and by the 1920’s he was one of the best known Western painters in Indonesia with many admirers, including Indonesian princesses, the Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, King Albert I, rich Chinese businessmen and Dutch civil servants and entrepreneurs. In 1929 he retired to Holland but with the threat of a war in Europe, he returned to his beloved Indonesia in 1938 together with his wife and seven children. When the war also came to Indonesia he was interned in a Japanese concentration camp. In 1946 he returned to Holland with all his family members alive and settled in The Hague where, at the age of 72, he had a solo exhibition and several exhibitions with other Dutch artists who had worked in Indonesia.

- Spanish Colonial Cuzco Painting of Archangel MichaelLocated in Pasadena, CAThis is a very good Spanish Colonial, Cuzco School (Cuzqueno) painting of the Archangel Michael. The painting appears to have little or no restorations and, as such, is in remarkable condition. We have chosen to leave that painting as found as the patina highlights the depth and character of the painting. We have listed separately two complementary larger paintings of the Virgin Mary and the Archangel Michael acquired from the same estate. The Cuzco school is a Peruvian Spanish Colonial religious artistic tradition in which Incan spirituality was incorporated into Catholic iconography. These Peruvian paintings incorporate artistic forms that distinguish Cuzqueno paintings from other Spanish Colonial artistic traditions. The Jesuit order, arriving in the mid-16th century, was the principal Catholic order whose mission it was to convert the Inca to Christianity and introduce Christian iconography and European type painting techniques to the Inca capital of Cuzco. Cuzco School paintings...Category
