The varied landscape of India offered a range of subjects to British artists who appreciated the natural beauty and architectural grandeur of the country. This book focuses on the lives and works of selected artists such as William Hodges, the Daniells, George Chinnery, Charles D’Oyly and William Simpson. Articles on the soldier artists, Francis Swain Ward, and Albert Goodwin are also included. Extensively quoted here are journals and letters that enhance an understanding of their eventful times. The pictures are a testimony of their artistic interests and skill, while the writings convey not only a sense of dedication to their art, but also their admiration for the endless aspects of Indian landscape.
