"Belg-Nederlander, Brugge 1821- Batavia 1905.
"He was trained as a lithographer, a profession he practised for a few years in Gent. His educational period in Paris is still somewhat misty, but certainely decisive for the development of his painting and performing art skills. The Theatre became his ideal world, where all his skills came together. By the end of the 1840s Kinsbergen could be considered a sort of theatre "all-rounder", which made him well qualified as a scenery painter dor Honoré Couget, director of the Theatre de Francais de Batavia, who was in Paris in 1851 to form a new theatre group.
In Batavia Kinsbergen combined scenery painting with acting, lithographing, drawing (portaits) and active networking. A job that needs paint, cloth and creativity?.. ask Kinsbergen! In the following years he worked his way upwards; in 1854 he was asked to form a new theatre group in Paris, of which he became the director.
But making a living solely from theatre was impossible. The French groups were costly and the European public was too limited to guarantee continuity. It forced Kinsbergen to be alert to every possibility to improve his finances.
Photgraphy proved a perfect new medium for this purpose. In 1855 Kinsbergen was invited by Antoine Lecouteux in Batavia to join his photographic firm on Noordwijk, Batavia,a s a retoucher. Later that year Kinsbergen officiated for Lecouteux in his firm while Lecouteux made a photographic tour across Java. Although they teamed up for a rather short period, Kinsbergen´s interest for photography was raised, and could - thanks to the merits of a perfect network - develop into a promising career as commisioned photographer. His work can be traced drom 1862 onwards, when he became the first scientific photographer in both the Mission to the court of Siam and the Java inspection tour of Governor-General Sloet van beele. Kinsbergen peaked photographically between 1862 and 1874; in this period, he travelled once again in the suite of the Governor-General to photograph sites, antiquities and portray social layers (from Sultans to serfs) within the colonial, shifting societies of Java, Madura and Bali.
His famous and costly art& archaeology series Antiquities of Java (1863-1867) and Boro-Boedoer (1873), proved by far the most influential sets of images. This corpus of 375 photos, created by Kinsbergen as the first appointed photographer of the Batavian Society of Arts and Sciences, was sent to renowned scientific institutes within Asia and Europe and the World exhibitions of Vienna, Paris and Amsterdam. From these nuclei the images spread and contributed impressively to the appreciation and research of classical Indonesian art.""^^xsd:string
