EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking view from Chowringhee Road in Calcutta, India towards the majestic Hoogly River. Taken around 1840 by an unknown English School artist, this piece of art measures 49.5x75 cm and is now part of a private collection. The image showcases the colonial charm of Calcutta during that era, with its grand architecture and bustling streets. In the foreground, a horse-drawn carriage gracefully makes its way through a meadow, adding a touch of nostalgia to the scene. The horses exude strength and elegance as they pull their load along. Beyond the cityscape lies the mesmerizing Hoogly River, shimmering under the golden sunlight. Its vastness seems to stretch endlessly into the horizon, inviting viewers to imagine what lies beyond its waters. This painting not only captures a specific moment in time but also serves as a window into history. It allows us to glimpse into life during colonial times in Calcutta when carriages were still prevalent and nature coexisted harmoniously with urban development. As we admire this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of how art has always been able to transport us across time and space - allowing us to experience different cultures and witness historical moments firsthand.
