Srirangapatna, a historic town in Karnataka, India, holds within its walls tales of bravery and conquest. The Water Gate stands as a silent witness to the fall of Tipu Sultan, where his life met its tragic end. The Siege of Seringapatam unfolds through vivid lithographs and paintings that depict the fierce battles fought on these very grounds. Intrigue surrounds the discovery of Tipu's body at the Water Gate, an eerie reminder of his once formidable reign. A piece of history preserved on paper, it tells a story that echoes through time. Hoolay Deedy's watercolor captures the essence of Seringapatam in all its glory during the early 19th century. The Charge of Highlanders at Seringapatam immortalizes the valorous acts performed by unknown heroes who fought for their nation's honor. Thomas Colman Dibdin's artwork showcases the grandeur and architectural marvels found within this ancient gateway. Anthony Cardon's painting takes us back to 1801 when Seringapatam was assaulted and taken over by British forces, and is a testament to their triumph against all odds. Joseph Ratcliffe Skelton brings forth another perspective with his depiction of Tippoo Sultan buried beneath his loyal followers' remains—a poignant image capturing both victory and loss. The last effort made by Tippoo Saib at Seringapatam comes alive through detailed illustrations from 1847—an event etched forever in history books. Richard Caton Woodville II masterfully portrays brave Sergeant Graham during Battle—his courage inspiring generations to come. Woodville also reveals another chapter in this tumultuous tale—the finding of British prisoners hidden under casemates within fortifications—a moment filled with relief amidst chaos. Finally, we witness "The Storming" resulting in Tippu Sultan's demise—an epic conclusion to an era marked by conflict and resistance.
