"Near Bandell on the River Hoogly" is an aquatint engraving by the British artists Thomas Daniell (1749–1840) and his nephew William Daniell (1769–1837), who were notable for their series of prints and paintings that depicted landscapes and historical sites from India. This particular artwork is part of their significant body of work known as "Oriental Scenery," which was produced following their extensive travels in India during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

The Daniells arrived in India in 1786 and spent the following years traveling extensively throughout the subcontinent, documenting its diverse landscapes, architecture, and culture. Their journey took them to the banks of the Hooghly River, a distributary of the Ganges in West Bengal, where they captured the serene and picturesque environs of Bandel, a locality known for its colonial history and the Bandel Church, one of the oldest Christian churches in West Bengal.

"Near Bandell on the River Hoogly" reflects the Daniells' meticulous attention to detail and their commitment to portraying the Indian landscape with accuracy and sensitivity. The aquatint process, which they employed to create this print, allowed for subtle gradations of tone and a painterly quality that was well-suited to rendering the atmospheric effects of the Indian climate and the lushness of its vegetation.

The work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, as it provides a visual record of India at a time when it was undergoing significant changes under British rule. The Daniells' "Oriental Scenery" series, which includes "Near Bandell on the River Hoogly," was highly influential in shaping European perceptions of India and contributed to the burgeoning interest in the exotic and the picturesque that characterized the Romantic era.

Today, "Near Bandell on the River Hoogly" is appreciated both as a masterpiece of aquatint engraving and as an important document in the history of British-Indian cultural exchange. It remains a testament to the Daniells' artistic legacy and their contribution to the chronicles of India's rich cultural and historical tapestry.
