"View of Calcutta" is a notable painting by the British artist William Hodges, who is recognized for his work during his travels in India in the 18th century. Created in 1786, this artwork provides a historical depiction of Calcutta, now Kolkata, during a period when it was the center of British activities in India. Hodges, known for his landscape paintings, was among the first British artists to document the landscapes and scenes of the British colonies, offering valuable perspectives on the colonial environments and their transformation under British rule.

The painting captures the burgeoning cityscape of Calcutta with its architectural landmarks, bustling river activity, and the nascent urban sprawl, reflecting the city's importance as a commercial and administrative hub. Hodges' work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its documentary value, providing insights into the socio-economic conditions of the time. "View of Calcutta" is an exemplary piece that showcases Hodges’ adeptness with atmospheric effects and his ability to capture the essence of the landscapes he encountered. This painting remains an important resource for historians and art enthusiasts interested in the visual and historical narrative of British India.
