The Death of Colonel Moorehouse at the Storming of the Pettah Gate of Bangalore on 7th March 1791
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This oil painting by Robert Home depicts a pivotal moment in history during the Siege of Bangalore in India. The artwork portrays the intense battle between British forces and Tipu Sultan's army, specifically focusing on the tragic demise of Colonel Joseph Moorhouse. The scene captures the chaos and violence that unfolded as soldiers clash against each other with fierce determination. With brushstrokes filled with emotion, Home masterfully conveys the intensity and brutality of war. The assault on Pettah Gate proved to be a turning point, leading to an enemy rout and forcing Tipu Sultan back to his fortress capital. In this particular frame frozen in time, we witness Colonel Moorhouse valiantly fighting alongside his comrades until he falls victim to enemy fire. His lifeless body lies sprawled across the battlefield, symbolizing sacrifice and bravery in service to their cause. Through this powerful composition, Home immortalizes not only one man's heroic sacrifice but also pays tribute to all those who fought gallantly during this significant conflict. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost associated with warfare while commemorating an important chapter in Indian history. Displayed at London's National Army Museum, this painting stands as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance for generations to come.
