About The Prince Of Wales Elephant Proecession Jaipur 1876 Vasily Vereshchagin 19th Century Indian Vintage Miniature Orientalist Painting
The giant painting (7.6 m by 5.1 m) depicts the triumph of the British colonial rule over India - a magnificent procession led by the Prince of Wales who later became King Edward VII. He appeared in the conquered country as the Viceroy of India appointed by the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland to rule a huge colony. The key figure of the pompous event is sitting proudly on the elephant leading the procession decorated in a gilded palanquin. The Jaipur Maharajah sitting next to him is leaning with servility. The Maharajah is followed by his close officials sitting on the elephants covered with expensive blankets and carpets, as well as by his bodyguards in shining armour prancing on well-groomed horses, and numerous servants and musicians. It is noteworthy that Vasily Vereshchagin was an eyewitness to this event and reliably depicted it in detail to the future generations.About the Posters
