Answer» Answer: This painting PAINTED by David Wilkie shows the discovery of the body of Tipu Sultan by the British General, David Baird after Tipu Sultan was defeated in the fourth Anglo Mysore war. This painting shows the superiority and dominance of the British over the Indians. In this painting, the British General is shown as if standing on a HIGH pedestal and exuding all the confidence. The might of the British empire is visibly marked in the paintings to ESTABLISH a strong root in INDIAN soil. On the other hand, Tipu Sultan is shown half naked and lifeless; lying in the dark recess. The painting appears to announce that those who dare to challenge the British authority would meet the same fate. |
