Storm on the Ganges, with Mrs Hastings near the Colgon Rocks, c. 1790
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by William Hodges that transports viewers to the majestic riverbanks of India. The artist skillfully captures the tumultuous atmosphere of a storm brewing over the mighty Ganges River. In this dramatic scene, Mrs Hastings, elegantly portrayed in traditional Indian attire, finds herself amidst nature's fury. The colossal Colgon Rocks stand tall and imposing in the background as dark clouds gather overhead. The rowboat she sits in battles against powerful waves, highlighting both her vulnerability and resilience against nature's forces. As rain pours down relentlessly, a vibrant rainbow emerges from behind the rocks - a symbol of hope amidst chaos. Hodges' meticulous brushwork brings every detail to life; from each ripple on the water's surface to every strand of hair blown by gusts of wind. This masterpiece not only showcases his technical prowess but also serves as an exploration into colonial India during this era. Now housed at Yale Center for British Art as part of Paul Mellon Collection, "Storm on the Ganges" continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide with its evocative portrayal of raw emotions and natural beauty intertwined within one breathtaking composition.
