Stake attention in this memory
The image displays a historical painting or illustration, viewed through a surface covered in raindrops. The artwork depicts the execution of Trunojoyo by the Mataram King Amangkurat II in 1680. In the center, King Amangkurat II is seated under a traditional golden umbrella, dressed in Javanese attire. Before him, Trunojoyo, also in traditional clothing, appears to be held or presented for execution by figures carrying weapons. To the right, a group of figures is depicted, some in European-style military attire, identifiable as representatives of the Dutch East India Company (VOC), alongside other Javanese soldiers, one holding a flag resembling the historical Dutch flag. Several individuals in traditional Javanese clothing are seated or standing on both sides of the central scene. The background shows a stylized sky with crows flying and perched on a barren tree branch on the left, and a sun/moon with more birds on the right, suggesting a general, perhaps ominous, atmosphere rather than a specific time of day. Visible text below the painting, in both Indonesian and English, confirms the subject: "Gambaran eksekusi Trunojoyo oleh raja Mataram Amangkurat II, 1680. Trunojoyo, Sang Raja Madura berbasis di Surabaya saat memberontak ke Mataram yang dibantu VOC. Bantuan yang tidak gratis, Surabaya dihadiahkan Mataram ke VOC." "Picture of the execution of Trunojoyo by the Mataram King, Amangkurath, 1680. Thorlajoyo, the King of Madura based in Surabaya. He foughi Mataram and the VOC." This text explains that Trunojoyo, the King of Madura based in Surabaya, rebelled against Mataram. The VOC assisted Mataram, and in return, Surabaya was ceded to the VOC. The text also mentions "Lithugraphy" as a source. A number "05/10" is visible at the bottom right, possibly indicating its sequence in a series.
