More about this artwork
The painting "From Rungpore [Rangpur]" captures a tranquil rural scene in the region of Rangpur, created around 1783 by artist Samuel Davis. This delicate watercolor offers a glimpse into the serene countryside life in the late 18th century Bengal. In a masterful circular composition, the painting features several traditional huts with thatched roofs, subtly blending into a landscape dominated by expansive flat terrains and sparse vegetation. The backdrop is graced with the subtle outline of distant mountains under a soft, vast sky, hinting at the natural beauty and the gentle life in Bengal during this period. Davis' work not only documents the geographical and architectural traits of the region but also evokes a sense of peaceful coexistence between nature and humanity, rendered through his light brush strokes and harmonious color palette.
