Front View of Buitenzorg Palace during the Earthquake of 10 October 1834 — Willem Troost

Willem Troost. Painted 1834 - 1836.

In 1834, when J.C. Baud was the governor-general, an earthquake struck Buitenzorg (Bogor) Palace. Upon his return to the Netherlands Baud engaged Willem Troost to paint two pictures of his former residence: one before and one after the earthquake. Troost had never been to Indonesia and must have relied on sketches made by other artists. The injured woman on the chairs in the left foreground is probably Baud’s wife.
