Le volcan

Le mont Merapi ou Gunung Merapi (2 914 m - 9 500 pieds) est un stratovolcan très actif situé à la frontière entre le centre de Java et Yogyakarta, en Indonésie. C'est le volcan le plus actif d'Indonésie et il est régulièrement entré en éruption depuis 1548.   Il est situé à environ 28 kilomètres (17 mi) au nord de la ville de Yogyakarta qui compte 2,4 millions d'habitants et des milliers de personnes vivent sur les flancs du volcan à quelques que 1 700 mètres (5 600 pieds) au-dessus du niveau de la mer. On peut souvent voir de la fumée émerger du sommet de la montagne et plusieurs éruptions ont fait de nombreux  morts. Le flux pyroclastique d'une grande explosion a tué 27 personnes le 22 novembre 1994, principalement dans la ville de Muntilan, à l'ouest du volcan. Une autre grande éruption s'est produite en 2006, peu de temps avant le tremblement de terre de Yogyakarta. À la lumière des dangers que Merapi pose aux zones peuplées, il a été désigné comme l'un des "volcans les plus dangereux de la décennie". Le 25 octobre 2010, le gouvernement indonésien a relevé l'alerte pour le mont Merapi à son plus haut niveau et a fait evacuer les villageois des zones menacées. Les responsables ont déclaré qu'environ 500 tremblements de terre volcaniques avaient été enregistrés sur la montagne au cours du week-end du 23 au 24 octobre 2010 et que le magma était monté à environ 1 kilomètre sous la surface en raison de l'activité sismique. Dans l'après-midi du 25 octobre 2010, le mont Merapi a  éclaté et la lave  a commencé à couler sans discontinuer sur ses pentes sud et sud-est. La montagne était encore en éruption le 30 novembre 2010, mais en raison de la baisse de l'activité éruptive le 3 décembre 2010, le statut d'alerte officiel a été réduit au niveau 3. Le volcan mesure maintenant 2930 mètres de haut, 38 mètres plus bas qu'avant les éruptions de 2010. Après une grande éruption en 2010, la caractéristique du mont Merapi a été modifiée. Le 18 novembre 2013, le mont Merapi a éclaté de fumée jusqu'à 2 000 mètres de haut, l'une de ses premières éruptions phréatiques majeures après l'éruption de 2010. Les chercheurs ont déclaré que cette éruption s'est produite en raison de l'effet combiné des gaz volcaniques chauds et des précipitations abondantes. En 2004, une zone de 6 410 hectares autour du mont Merapi a été érigée en parc national. La décision du ministère des Forêts de déclarer le parc a ensuite été contestée devant les tribunaux par le Forum indonésien pour l'environnement, au motif d'un manque de consultation avec les résidents locaux. Lors de l'éruption du volcan en 2006, il a été signalé que de nombreux habitants hésitaient à partir parce qu'ils craignaient que leurs résidences ne soient confisquées pour l'expansion du parc national, ce qui signifie qu'ils n'auraient pas de maison. La dernière éruption du Merapi est en date du 18 Mars 2023 et a nécessité l'évacuation de plusieurs centaines d'habitants.

Le peintre
Raden Soedjono Abdullah est né à Yogyakarta, le fils d'Abdullah Suriosubroto, un célèbre peintre paysagiste et était également le frère de Basoeki Abdullah. Il avait l'habitude d'aider son père à nettoyer sa palette et c'est ainsi qu'il  a trouvé sa voie pour devenir peintre. Il a terminé ses études à HIS Indonesian Dutch School et a travaillé comme affichiste pour le Rex Theatre de Yogyakarta. Lors de la colonisation japonaise en Indonésie, Sudjono s'exhila à Parangtritis, Parangkusumo où il continua à peindre. Au cours des années 1970, Soedjono  déménagea à Kertosono dans l'est de Java, où il a vécu jusqu'à sa mort. Sa peinture est beaucoup plus realiste - voit hyper réaliste même - que celle des autres peintres de sa famille.

GUNUNG BROMO (2) PAINTED BY SUDJONO ABDULLAH

The volcano
Gunung Bromo (2,329m - 7,641ft) or Gunung Brama, an active volcano,in East Java, Indonesia, is not the highest peak of the Tengger massif, but the best known. The massif area is one of the most visited tourist attractions in East Java, Indonesia. The volcano belongs to the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. The name of Bromo derived from Javanese pronunciation of Brahma, the Hindu creator god. Gunung Bromo sits in the middle of a plain called the "Sea of Sand" a protected nature reserve since 1919. The best way to visit Gunung Bromo is from the nearby mountain village of Cemoro Lawang, from where it is possible to walk during 45 mn to the volcano. It is also possible to take an organised jeep tour, which includes a stop at the viewpoint on Gunung Penanjakan (2,770 m - 9,088 ft). On the fourteenth day of the Hindu festival of Yadnya Kasada, the Tenggerese people of Probolinggo, East Java, travel up the mountain in order to make offerings of fruit, rice, vegetables, flowers and sacrifices to the mountain gods by throwing it into the caldera of the volcano. The origin of the ritual lies in the 15th century legend when princess Roro Anteng started the principality of Tengger with her husband, Joko Seger. The couple were childless and therefore beseeched the assistance of the mountain gods. The gods granted them 24 children but stipulated that the 25th child, named Kesuma, must be thrown into the volcano as a human sacrifice. The gods' request was implemented. The tradition of throwing sacrifices into the volcano to appease these ancient deities continues today and is called the Yadnya Kasada ceremony. Though fraught with danger, some locals risk climbing down into the crater in an attempt to recollect the sacrificed goods that they believe could bring them good luck.
Depending on the degree of volcanic activity, the Indonesian Centre for Volcanology and Disaster Hazard Mitigation sometimes issues warnings against visiting Mount Bromo.
Mount Bromo recently erupted in 2004, 2010, 2011 and 2015.
 

The painter
Raden Soedjono Abdullah was born in Yogyakarta, the son of Abdullah Suriosubroto, a famous landscape painter and was also the brother of Basoeki Abdullah. He used to help his father cleaning the pallet from which he found his way to be a painter. He finished his school from HIS Indonesian Dutch School and worked as a poster artist for the Rex Theater in Yogyakarta. During the Japanese colonization in Indonesia, Sudjono went to Parangtritis, Parangkusumo where he continued to paint. During the 1970s, Soedjono moved to Kertosono in East Java, where he lived up to his death.

This mountain is one of the inactive volcanoes located within the Tengger caldera.
In Javanese, Batok means "coconut shell". The Tenggerese people believe that Mount Batok was formed from a coconut shell which was kicked by Resi Bima, a powerful giant, after failing to fulfill the conditions proposed by Rara Anteng to marry her.

On the top of the volcano is a 6-by-8.5-kilometre (3.7 by 5.3 mi) caldera, which is filled partially by the crater lake known as Segara Anak or Anak Laut (Child of the Sea), due to the color of its water, as blue as the sea.This lake is approximately 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) above sea level and estimated to be about 200 metres (660 ft) deep; the caldera also contains hot springs. Sasak tribe and Hindu people assume the lake and the mount are sacred and some religious activities are occasionally done in the two areas.
