EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tipoo Sultan's body was found buried beneath those of his followers" takes us back in time to a significant moment in history. The skilled artist, Joseph Ratcliffe Skelton, brings this scene to life through a vibrant colour lithograph. The image portrays the aftermath of a fierce battle, where Tipoo Sultan, the ruler of Mysore in India during the late 18th century, met his tragic fate. As we gaze upon the print, we witness an eerie sight - Tipoo Sultan's lifeless body lying beneath the bodies of his loyal followers who fought valiantly by his side. The composition is filled with intricate details that transport us into this historical event. We observe soldiers dressed in their distinctive uniforms and holding weapons tightly as they stand guard over their fallen leader. The atmosphere is somber yet powerful, evoking emotions of both admiration for these brave warriors and sorrow for their untimely demise. This artwork is part of the larger collection called "Romance of Empire" published around the 1920s. It serves as a reminder of India's rich past and its complex relationship with colonial powers during that era. As we contemplate this striking image captured by Skelton, it prompts us to reflect on the sacrifices made by individuals like Tipoo Sultan and his devoted followers while also highlighting how art can preserve moments from history for generations to come.
