About the Item

Batur Temple and Batur Mountain before the eruption, Bali 1904 Signed, dated, and titled lower left and with artist's stamp verso Pen, brush and ink on cardboard, H. 16.7 x W. 21.8 cm In the background, the ominous smoke rising from the caldron of Batur Mountain warns of the destruction to come. Batur temple, on the shores of the lake bearing the same name, was one of the most sacred and significant in Bali. It was the only place in the then-still independent Kingdoms of South Bali visited by the artist in 1904. In the next 15 years, a series of lava flows spewed from the Batur volcano would destroy the temple and the village. On March 11, 1937, Nieuwenkamp drew Batur, buried under the volcano's lava.
