EDITORS COMMENTS
The Finding of the Body of Tippoo Sultan," a captivating mezzotint print published in 1800 by renowned British artist Samuel William Reynolds, offers a haunting and poignant depiction of the aftermath of the Battle of Seringapatam in India. The print commemorates the death of Tipu Sultan, the ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore, who was infamously known as the "Tiger of Mysore." The image captures the moment of discovery of Tipoo Sultan's lifeless body, lying on the ground amidst the chaos and destruction of the battlefield. The defeated sultan, dressed in his royal attire and adorned with jewelry, lies with his eyes wide open, gazing upwards, as British soldiers surround him in triumph. The print's vivid colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer to the heart of the battlefield in 18th-century India. The Battle of Seringapatam, fought on May 4, 1799, marked the end of the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War, which saw the British East India Company's forces, led by General David Baird, defeat Tipoo Sultan's army. The victory secured British control over the Kingdom of Mysore and marked a significant milestone in the expansion of British colonial power in India. The print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the complex history of colonialism and the impact of European powers on India. Today, "The Finding of the Body of Tippoo Sultan" is part of the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. The print's enduring legacy serves as a reminder of the intricate and often tumultuous history of India and the world.
