The story of Anglo Indian Art

Thomas Daniell, R.A. (1749–1840) and his
nephew, William Daniell (1769–1837) were
among the leading artists to visit India in the
18th and 19th Centuries. Other artists, notably
William Hodges (1744–1797) who made a tour
up the Ganges in 1780–83 provided inspiration.
During the Daniell's famous and adventurous
tours they played a prominent role in record-
ing and documenting the country.

As well as the professional European artists to
visit India, a host of very talented amateur
artists were simultaneously observing and
recording Indian scenes.
