Painting History
Painting History: In his tradition of painting , artist attempted to portray the various victorious moments of British Imperialism.They took pride and honour and celebrated British victories in India . Francis Hayman belonged to this tradition;he painted the scene after the Battle of Plassey.
There was a third category of imperial art, called “history painting”. British victories in India served as rich material for history painters in Britain. These painters drew on first- hand sketches and accounts of travelers to depict for the British public a favorable image of British actions in India. These paintings once again celebrated the British: their power, their victories, their supremacy. One of the first of these history paintings was produced by Francis Hayman in 1762 and placed on public display in the Vauxhall gardens in London. The British had just defeated sirajuddaulah in the famous battle of plassey and installed Mir Jafar as the nawab of murshidabad. It was a victory won through conspiracy, and the traitor Mir Jafar was awarded the title of Nawab. In the painting by Hayman this act of aggression and conquest is not depicted. It shows lord Clive being welcomed by Mir Jafar and his troops after the battle of Plassey.
The celebration of British military triumph can be seen in the many paintings of the battle of Seringapatnam.(now Srirangapatnam). Tipu sultan of Mysore , as you know, was one of the most powerful enemies of the British . He was finally defeated in 1799 at the famous battle of Seringapatnam.
The British troops are shown storming the fort from all sides , cutting Tipu's soldiers to pieces, climbing the walls, raising the British flag aloft on the ramparts of Tipu's fort. It is a painting full of action and energy. the painting dramatises the event and glorifies the British triumph.
Imperial history paintings sought to create a public memory of imperial triumphs. Victories had to be remembered, implanted in the memory of people, both in India and Britain. Only then could the British appear invincible and all -powerful.
