EDITORS COMMENTS
View of the Inside Gate at Bangalore, Mysore, 1794" is an exquisite etching on paper created by Scottish artist Robert Home during the 1790s. This artwork transports us back in time to the eighteenth century, specifically to the entrance of the fortified city of Bangalore in Mysore, India. The image showcases the intricate architectural details of the inside gate, which serves as a grand entrance to the city. The gate is adorned with an impressive archway, which frames the way in and out of the city. The arch is further embellished with intricate carvings and decorative motifs, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Hindoostan. To the left of the gate, we see a guard room, where guards are stationed, keeping a watchful eye over the entrance. Two women, dressed in traditional Indian attire, can be seen carrying water in earthen pots, or bhistis, adding a touch of everyday life to this grand scene. The etching is done in monochrome, with the play of light and shadow creating a striking contrast between the white walls and the darker areas of the image. The image is a testament to Home's exceptional skill as an artist, capturing the essence of the location with remarkable detail and precision. This artwork is a valuable addition to the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the rich artistic and cultural heritage of India during the eighteenth century. The image invites us to explore the history and beauty of this ancient city, transporting us to a time long past.
