EDITORS COMMENTS
The capture of Chandernagore in March 1757 was a pivotal moment in the history of the French and English conflict in India during the Seven Years War. This stunning oil painting by Dominic Serres, created in 1771, captures the intensity and drama of the battle that took place at this strategic location. Chandernagore, as the administrative center of the French East India Company, held great importance for both sides.
Lying just ten miles upriver from Calcutta, Chandernagore's capture gave the East India Company effective control over Calcutta and the Bengal hinterland. The detailed brushstrokes and vibrant colors used by Serres bring to life this historic event, showcasing the naval battle scene with precision and skill.
As you gaze upon this masterpiece hanging in London's National Maritime Museum, you can almost hear the clash of swords and cannons echoing across the river. The tension between France and England is palpable in every stroke of paint on canvas.
This painting serves as a reminder of a time when empires clashed on distant shores, fighting for dominance over lucrative trade routes and territories. It stands as a testament to human ambition, power struggles, and ultimately, conquest.
