The Ghats at Benares c 1787 is a Vintage Orientalist Painting of India by William Hodges. William Hodges worked in an art school owned by William Shipley. He would later study under Richard Wilson, known for painting landscape portraits. Sometime in the 1760s, he left the school and Wilson and persured a career in painting scenery for plays until 1772 when he would accompany Cook on his second voyage to the Pacific. On the voayge, he painted many of the landscapes abd peoples that they came across. However, many times he would depict Island natives as cassical Greeks. His own travels across Europe most famously include his time spent in India, which he would later write a book on entitled "Travels in India: 1780-1783".

William Hodges (28 October 1744 – 6 March 1797) was an English painter and is best known for the sketches and paintings of locations he visited on that voyage. Up until 1770 Europeans had no visual concept of India that was based on first hand observation by a European artists. This changed after 1770 when Professional painters began to visit the Subcontinent and look at the country and its peoples through European taste.   The first professional landscape artist to visit India was William Hodges. He was also the most widely travelled artist of the 18th Century having spent three years circumnavigating the world with Captain Cook from 1772-1775.   He visited Madras, Calcutta, Lucknow, Agra and Delhi - recording both the landscape but also the great Mughal monuments. His work is characterized by a keen observation of landscape forms, the Indian light and atmosphere and a sympathetic understanding of Indian people.   His pioneering work and his engravings done back in England in 1787 were to have a profound influence on many of the artists who followed.
