The Changing World of Visual Arts

Our Pasts - III

New Forms of Imperial Art

A stream of European artists, who came to India from the 18th century, brought with them new style and new conventions of painting. The picture that they produced shaped western perceptions of India.

These artists introduced the idea of realising. This was based on careful observation and faithful depiction of scenes which they saw with their own eyes.

The technique of oil painting, which was a new thing for the Indian artists, was also introduced.

The European artists chose varied subjects for their paintings but they never missed to emphasise the superiority of Britain.

Looking For The Picturesque

Picturesque landscape painting was a popular imperial tradition.

Thomas Daniell and his nephew William Daniell painted within this tradition.

Portraits of Authority

Portrait painting was another tradition. The portraits were life size image that looked lifelike and real. It became very famous. As a result many European portrait painters came to India in search of profitable commissions. One of very famous portrait painters was Johann Zoffany.

Many of the Indian nawabs too began commissioning imposing oil portraits by European painters.

Painting History

The category of imperial art is known as history painting. This tradition sought to dramatise and recreate various episodes of British imperial history.

British victories in India provided a rich material for history painters in Britain. These paintings once again celebrated the British, their power, victories and supremacy.
