EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas print by William Hodges. This remarkable piece showcases an architectural marvel set against a breathtaking landscape. In this painting, Hodges skillfully captures the essence of Madras (now Chennai), India during the 18th century. The focal point is undoubtedly the magnificent Marmalong Bridge, previously known as the Armenian Bridge. Its grandeur and intricate design stand tall amidst lush mountains and a serene river flowing beneath it. The foreground depicts a Sepoy soldier accompanied by locals going about their daily activities. Their vibrant costumes add splashes of color to this already picturesque scene. It offers us a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people living in harmony with nature while coexisting with colonial influences. Hodges' attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from capturing architectural nuances to portraying human emotions. The composition invites viewers to immerse themselves in this idyllic setting, evoking feelings of tranquility and awe. This print from Liszt Collection serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of British colonial India. It transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate not only Hodges' talent but also gain insight into cultural exchanges that shaped our world today.
