Painting Description
"Storming of the Kashmire Gate Dehli 14th September 1857" is a historical painting by Matthew "Matt" Somerville Morgan, an artist known for his works depicting significant events. Born in London in 1837, Morgan was a British illustrator, caricaturist, and theatrical designer before moving to the United States. The painting in question captures a pivotal moment during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, also known as the First War of Indian Independence or the Sepoy Mutiny.
The artwork illustrates the British forces' assault on the Kashmiri Gate in Delhi on September 14, 1857. This event was a crucial part of the British campaign to recapture Delhi and suppress the rebellion. The storming of the gate was led by Lieutenant Home and Lieutenant Salkeld, and it marked a turning point in the siege of Delhi, eventually leading to the restoration of British control over the city.
Morgan's depiction of the scene is noted for its dramatic representation of the battle, with attention to the heroism of the British troops as they breached the city's defenses. The painting is a testament to Morgan's ability to convey the intensity and chaos of battle, a theme that recurs in his other historical and military works.
As an artist, Morgan's contributions to the visual culture of the 19th century encompassed not only historical paintings but also social commentary through his work for publications like "Fun" magazine, where he served as a staff cartoonist. His move to the United States in the latter part of his career saw him working on theatrical productions and continuing his work as an illustrator.
"Storming of the Kashmire Gate Dehli 14th September 1857" remains an important work for its historical subject matter and its place within Morgan's oeuvre. It offers viewers a glimpse into the artist's interpretation of a significant event in British and Indian history, reflecting the perspectives and sentiments of the era in which it was created.
