Painting Description
"East View of Seringapatam on 15th May 1791" is a significant historical artwork created by Robert H. Colebrooke in 1804. This piece captures a pivotal moment during the Third Anglo-Mysore War, specifically depicting the British forces' perspective of the city of Seringapatam (now Srirangapatna) on May 15, 1791. The artwork is notable for its detailed representation of the landscape and military encampments, providing a visual documentation of the period's military and colonial history.
Robert H. Colebrooke, an artist and military officer, was known for his topographical and military sketches. His works often combined artistic skill with precise geographical and architectural details, making them valuable records of British colonial campaigns in India. "East View of Seringapatam on 15th May 1791" exemplifies this dual focus, offering insights into both the strategic importance of Seringapatam and the broader context of British military operations in the region.
The city of Seringapatam was the stronghold of Tipu Sultan, the ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore, and a formidable opponent of British expansion in India. The depiction of the city in Colebrooke's artwork highlights its strategic fortifications and the surrounding terrain, which played crucial roles in the military engagements of the time. The Third Anglo-Mysore War (1789-1792) was a significant conflict between the British East India Company and the Kingdom of Mysore, ultimately leading to the Treaty of Seringapatam and substantial territorial losses for Tipu Sultan.
Colebrooke's "East View of Seringapatam on 15th May 1791" not only serves as an artistic representation but also as a historical document that offers a glimpse into the colonial and military history of late 18th-century India. The artwork remains an important piece for historians and art enthusiasts alike, reflecting the complexities and dynamics of British-Indian relations during this tumultuous period.
