"The Garden Side for the Mosque at Chunar" 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 European artists to visit India, accompanying the British colonial administration. His works are significant for their role in documenting the Indian landscape and architecture during this period.

This particular painting depicts the mosque at Chunar, a town located in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Chunar is known for its historical fort and strategic location along the Ganges River. Hodges' painting captures the serene garden side of the mosque, showcasing his skill in portraying the interplay of light and shadow, as well as his attention to architectural detail.

Hodges' work is characterized by its romanticized view of the Indian landscape, often emphasizing the exotic and picturesque elements that appealed to European audiences of the time. His paintings played a crucial role in shaping Western perceptions of India during the colonial era.

"The Garden Side for the Mosque at Chunar" is part of a larger body of work that Hodges produced during his travels, which were later published in a series of aquatints. These works were influential in the development of the picturesque movement in art, which sought to capture the beauty and sublimity of natural and architectural forms.

Hodges' Indian paintings, including this one, are valued not only for their artistic merit but also for their historical significance, providing insight into the cultural and architectural heritage of India as seen through the eyes of a European artist. Today, his works are held in various collections, including the British Library and the Victoria and Albert Museum, where they continue to be studied and appreciated for their contribution to art and history.
