BACK COVER:
Northwest gate of the fort, Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh.
c. 30 October 1789
On their way up-country,
the Daniells had hurried through Allahabad.
On the way back,
they stayed for several days and made drawings,
in particular of the Fort which stood at the
junction of the Ganges and Jumna Rivers.
The Fort which was built
by the Mughal Emperor Akbar
had been begun in 1583.
It contained a number of pavilions
such as the Chalis Satun which have now been destroyed.
“Spent the day in the fort,
chiefly employed in making correct drawings
of the Ornaments in the Buildings
which we have made views of.
Thermometer this morning 64.”
(William Daniell, Journal)
The Daniells in India
Late 18th century England saw India
as a land of violent extremes,
enigmatic dangers and lush exoticism.
When the Daniells arrived in 1786,
the English were ensconced in Calcutta, Bombay and Madras.
And the colonials tall tales
of the fabulous land they were conquering
were shrouded in myth and rumour.
In seven intrepid hard-working years,
from 1786 to 1793,
Thomas Daniell and his nephew
William changed this forever.
Photography had yet to be invented
and Indians hadn’t yet learnt the art of landscape painting.
Showing great determination and fortitude,
enduring heat, floods, and storms,
braving countless hazards of rural travel,
the Daniells captured on paper the majestic landscapes
and the handsome and,
to contemporary European eyes often startling,
architecture of the sub-continent with evocative accuracy.
They travelled, often by river,
with not only large supplies of materials, tents, palanquins and servants,
but a camera obscura to assist in recording detail,
and a ‘perambulator’ to measure the mileage of their journeys.
Both men were industrious.
Scarcely a day passed without sketches being made
or worked up into full water colours or oils.
They were professionals.
The drawings they made became source material
for engravings, publications, and paintings
for the rest of their lives.
At the age of 79,
Thomas exhibited an oil based on a scene at Guar
which he had sketched thirty seven years before.
William’s last Royal Academy exhibit
began as a sketch made when he was twenty.
But while theirs was no classical Grand Tour,
it was consistent with the spirit of the age,
a time of exploration which saw Cook and Banks,
for example, roaming the South Pacific
and charting Australia and New Zealand,
Thomas and William introduced a real India
permanently into British painting.
The scenes they captured the river ghats,
temples shaded by overhanging trees,
boats rowed by turbaned coolies,
the mosques, palaces
and the stretches of languid landscape still endure.
The P&O collection of Daniells watercolours
was acquired in 1952 by Sir Donald Anderson,
then Deputy Chairman of the Company.
