"The East End of the Fort of Mongheer" is a painting by the British artist William Hodges, created during his travels in India in the late 18th century. Hodges, known for his landscape paintings, was one of the first professional artists to visit India, accompanying the British colonial administration. His works are significant for their early depictions of Indian architecture and landscapes, providing a visual record of the period.

This particular painting captures the fort at Mongheer (now Munger), located in the state of Bihar, India. The fort, historically significant, was an important military and administrative center during various Indian dynasties and later under British rule. Hodges' painting likely reflects the fort's architecture and the surrounding landscape, showcasing his interest in the interplay of light and atmosphere, which was a hallmark of his style.

Hodges' journey to India was part of a larger trend of European artists traveling to the East, driven by curiosity and the colonial expansion of the British Empire. His works from this period are noted for their romanticized yet detailed portrayal of Indian scenes, blending European artistic techniques with local subjects.

"The East End of the Fort of Mongheer" is part of a larger collection of works by Hodges that document his travels in India from 1772 to 1777. These paintings were later published in a book titled "Select Views in India," which contributed to the European understanding and appreciation of Indian culture and architecture.

Hodges' work is often studied for its historical context and its role in shaping Western perceptions of India during the colonial era. His paintings remain valuable for both their artistic merit and their documentation of 18th-century India.
