Description

Rotsachtige kust van Zuid-Java met de grotten van Karang Bolong (Rocky coast of South Java with the caves of Karang Bolong) is a painting by the dutch impressionistic artist Willem Jan Pieter van der Does. Painted probably in Java around the year of circa 1938, this painting depicts a view of one of the famous "marine" landscape in the strait of South Java "The Karang Bolong". This painting is an example of the artist's knowledge of nature, the colours of the skies and the texture of the ocean wave reflects the true characteristic of the calm but yet sublime scenery. Although the ocean and the cave it self is the main subject of the picture, theres something in the composition that will bring our eyes towards it, and that is the moon. Willem van der Does's works had always been regarded to be a beautiful example of nature's beauty, but from many of his works it is rather difficult to actually find a subject with a moon itself although he is capable in painting it (scenery with moon only appeared in Does's early works, where he often depicts evening or night scenery). The painting was owned by generations of a Dutch family who once lived in the Dutch East Indies for more than 90 years.
