Seven-Storied Palace, - Bejapore, 1834
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by renowned English artist Samuel Prout, showcasing the magnificent Sat Manzili, or the Palace of the Seven Storeys, located in the historic city of Bijapur, Karnataka, India. This architectural marvel dates back to the 16th century, making it a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India's past. The intricately detailed print, published in "Views in India, China and on the Shores of the Red Sea, Vol. II" by Fisher, Son & Co. in London in 1835, offers a breathtaking view of the exterior of the palace. The seven-tiered structure, with each level featuring ornate arches and balconies, is surrounded by lush greenery and open spaces. The ruins of the palace, with their intricate carvings and intricate designs, exude an aura of grandeur and mystery. The print was created by Samuel Prout, a prolific English painter and etcher, who is known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the places he visited. The print also bears the signature of Commander Robert Elliott, who may have been the patron or commissioner of the work. The Sat Manzili, also known as the Gagan Mahal, was built during the reign of Ibrahim Adil Shah II (1572-1580) and is considered one of the most impressive structures in Bijapur. The palace was designed to reflect the power and wealth of the Adil Shahi dynasty and served as a royal residence and a center of artistic and cultural patronage. Today, the Sat Manzili stands as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of India, and this stunning print by Samuel Prout offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when grandeur and beauty reigned supreme. Whether you are an art lover, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of architecture, this print is sure to captivate and inspire you.
