Although Raden Saleh to master the techniques and styles of Western painting , but in day to day interaction Raden Saleh is still treated as a child colony .

Furthermore, Raden Saleh traveled to Germany , and in Germany he received a fitting tribute as a man and as a talented painter .

Nationalism

One of his famous and implies that terms with nationalism is " Arrest of Prince Diponegoro "( 1857 )

Author of the book " Power of Prophecy " , Peter Carey writes : " .... Twenty- five years after Pieneman paint scenes " surrender " by Prince 's heroic , another artist , this time a Javanese , Raden Saleh Syarif Bustaman ( around 1811-1880 ) , produces a very different paintings . With titles in German " Ein historisches Tableau , die Gefangennahme des Javanischen Häuptlings Diepo Negoro " ( A painting [ oil paint ] historic , arrest Leader Java Diponegoro ) , which was completed in the studio Raden Saleh in Cikini ( now RS Cikini ) in 1857 and then handed over to the Dutch King Willem III ( reigned 1849-1890 ) , with the odd ambiguous attitude . This work shows an incredible emotion . A visibly irate Diponegoro stand upright in the center of the painting , just up the stairs Pensions resident . By trying hard to control his turmoil , his eyes filled with fiery determination . Clenched his left hand across his waist, he stretched out his right hand to comfort a crying woman Java - perhaps his wife , Raden Ayu Retnoningsih , here the results of creative freedom . ( Because ) None of the women in the group at the time of his arrest Diponegoro . - That with a full ... embrace the pain his legs . As described by Kraus ( 2005:285 - 6 ) with a very live , face Dutch De Kock and other officers looked blank as if staring into the distance . "

Dr. I Ketut Winaya , in his dissertation at the University of Udayana ( 2007 ) ( and the book : " Painting Painting Raden Saleh , expression of Anti- Colonial " ; National Gallery , 2008 ) confirms the " anti-colonial spirit of Raden Saleh through the reading of his paintings ..... on portrait painting HW Daendels background figure in the governor -general was not only a comely distant tropical scenery , but also " looks much painted the human form ... warned ... that the governor general who ordered the construction of 1,000 kilometers along the road ... a lot of people killed . " ( page 80 )

Majalengka Regent .... the portrait , a dagger strapped to the side with the head pointing forward dagger regent symbolizes being ready to fight . With this painting , " as if he openly [ Raden Saleh ] back to Indonesia stands ready to proclaim war against colonialism . " ( Page 104 )

Arrest .... the painting of Prince Diponegoro , Diponegoro among soldiers there Raden Saleh 's own figures . Easily concluded that the artist declares support this resistance ; was not in the family there is the commander of the Diponegoro War ? And this , the costume of Prince Diponegoro , " if properly observed , on top and in the middle is found in red turban and white . "

....... " In this case it is clear that Raden Saleh uses red and white emblem or symbol such as a form of resistance in the expression of the anti-colonial paintings .... " ( page 112 )

According to Carey , that during Raden Saleh was in Paris , there is a strong presumption that Raden Saleh leaked to the press about the exile of Prince Diponegoro , and writing the local media led to the Kingdom of the Netherlands made ​​a loud rebuttal by the Dutch Ambassador in Paris .
