EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white chalk drawing by Frans Bakker, titled 'Thamrin Square in Semarang with the volcanoes Sindoro and Soembing in the background, 1930,' offers a glimpse into the rich history and natural beauty of Java, Indonesia during the early 20th century. The image presents an aerial view of Thamrin Square in Semarang, a bustling colonial-era plaza filled with people going about their daily lives. In the distance, the towering stratovolcanoes Sindoro and Soembing dominate the landscape, their snow-capped peaks rising majestically against the clear blue sky. Frans Bakker masterfully captures the contrast between the vibrant activity of the city square and the serene, powerful presence of the volcanoes. The artist's skillful use of chalk on paper creates a sense of depth and texture, making the scene feel both intimately familiar and strikingly exotic. The drawing invites viewers to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of this far-off place, transporting them to a time when the Dutch East Indies were a vital part of the Dutch Empire. This evocative work of art is a testament to the enduring allure of Java's unique geography and cultural heritage. It is a reminder of the complex interplay between nature and human civilization, and the lasting impact of colonialism on the world. Today, the drawing can be found in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from all corners of the globe.
