EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of "The discovery of Tipus body at the Water Gate at Seringapatam". Painted by John Absolon, this watercolor on paper artwork showcases a significant event in Indian history. Tipu Sultan, the ruler of Mysore, valiantly defended his capital, Seringapatam, against the British army but tragically lost his life during battle. In this painting, we witness the aftermath as Tipu's body is discovered near the Water Gate. The artist skillfully portrays both the wounded sultan and the architectural beauty of Seringapatam. Intriguingly, in the distance stands a mausoleum built by Tipu himself for his father Hyder Ali. This detail adds depth to an already poignant scene and highlights Tipu's devotion to his family. "The discovery of Tipus body at the Water Gate at Seringapatam" not only depicts a historical event but also offers insights into medicine and health during that time period. The injuries sustained by Tipu are visible in this artwork, reminding us of both human vulnerability and resilience. This remarkable painting from The Stapleton Collection is now part of a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its rich storytelling and artistic mastery.
