Answers
Visual representations about the Revolt of 1857 tell us about the following information:
Some of the paintings made by the British praise the British heroes who saved the British and crushed the rebels. Tom Johns Barker's painting 'Relief of Lucknow' is an example of this category. This painting presents the story of the defeat of the rebels in Lucknow and the undisputed victory of British power. Joseph Noel Peyton's picture 'In Memoriam' has been presented showing the helpless and helpless situation of the public in India to demand retribution and lessons from his government.
Through some pictures, the British tried to demonstrate their invincibility and justify violent repression and retaliation. In one such picture, the Goddess of Justice is shown crushing soldiers under her feet in an aggressive posture. Some of the paintings show soldiers and others involved in the rebellion hanging openly in the open space or flying with a cannon. It was a kind of panic display. The nationalists have depicted the rebels fighting valiantly against the oppressive and imperialist regime. The Rani of Jhansi was often depicted as a manly personality in which she was leading the enemies to death.
Historians analyze these paintings on many grounds. In fact, any painting expresses the thoughts and feelings of the painter and his environment. Therefore, the historian tries to explain these paintings in the background of their present life.
