The meeting of three 19th century Javanese artists, Ronggowarsito (1802-1873), Mangkunegoro IV (1811-1881), and Raden Saleh (circa 1811-1880). The 19th century was a difficult time for the Javanese. A turbulent century, especially for the Javanese people who had just survived the devastating conflict known as the Java War (1825-1830). After the Java War ended, Java entered a new order that can be called the modern era. The post-Java War and Cultuurstelsel agreement led to a decline in self-confidence, social, economic, political, and cultural.

He always told Tawi that if he died, he would bathe his body with wine and be accompanied by the beating of saronèn from the time he was bathed until he was taken to the grave. Sarmadin also asked that his sape sono' be slaughtered to celebrate his death. Sumrani (36), Sarmadin's wife, refused to carry out the will. Ke Dikram (52) who is a kyai also argues that this will is against tradition and shari'ah.
