Major General Claud Martins House, the Farhad Baksh, in Lucknow on the River Gumti, by Thomas Daniell (1749-1840): A Glimpse into Colonial Architecture of the 1780s India This stunning oil painting by Thomas Daniell, created in 1789, captures the majestic beauty of Major General Claud Martins House, also known as the Farhad Baksh, situated on the banks of the River Gumti in Lucknow, India. The painting transports us back to the 1780s, a period marked by the British colonial rule in India. The house, with its grand stone architecture, stands proudly against the backdrop of the serene river. The intricate designs on the facade, the arched windows, and the balcony adorned with flags, all speak of the opulence and grandeur of the British colonial rulers. The tranquil river, with its gentle flow and reflection of the house, adds to the serene beauty of the scene. The painting also showcases the various modes of transport prevalent during that era. Boats with sails dot the river, providing a means of transportation for people and goods. The boats, with their elegant design and the sailors skillfully maneuvering them, add to the charm of the painting. Major General Claud Martins, a British military officer, was the Commander-in-Chief of the British East India Company's forces in India during the late 18th century. The Farhad Baksh was one of his residences, named after the legendary Persian prince, Farhad, known for his love for architecture. The painting is a testament to the rich history and cultural exchange that took place during the colonial era in India. Thomas Daniell, a renowned English artist, was known for his detailed and accurate depictions of Indian landscapes and architecture. This painting, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a masterpiece that transports us to a bygone era and offers us a glimpse into the colonial history of India.
