"Surgeon Anthony Dickson Home VC 1826-1914 and Assistant Surgeon William Bradshaw VC 1830-61 at Lucknow during the Indian Mutiny in 1857" is a historical painting by Chevalier Louis-William Desanges, a notable artist renowned for his series of works depicting acts of valor. This particular painting captures a significant moment during the Indian Mutiny of 1857, also known as the First War of Indian Independence, which was a major, but ultimately unsuccessful, uprising against the British East India Company's rule.

The painting commemorates the bravery of two British military surgeons, Anthony Dickson Home and William Bradshaw, both of whom were awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest military decoration for valor in the British armed forces. The scene is set during the Siege of Lucknow, one of the key events of the mutiny, where British forces and civilians were besieged by rebel forces for several months.

Anthony Dickson Home, born in 1826, and William Bradshaw, born in 1830, are depicted in the midst of their courageous efforts to save lives under extreme conditions. Home was recognized for his gallantry in attending to the wounded under heavy fire, while Bradshaw was honored for his bravery in a similar capacity, risking his life to provide medical assistance on the battlefield.

Desanges' painting not only serves as a tribute to these individual acts of heroism but also reflects the broader context of the British military's experiences during the Indian Mutiny. The artist's attention to detail and dramatic composition effectively convey the perilous environment and the extraordinary courage displayed by Home and Bradshaw.

This work is part of Desanges' larger series known as "The Victoria Cross Gallery," which aimed to celebrate the valor of Victoria Cross recipients through visual art. The series was highly regarded in its time for bringing to life the stories of bravery and sacrifice that characterized the recipients of this prestigious award.
