Indian history wall art print of the fall of Delhi in September 1857, British forces entering through breached walls as fires burn across the rooftops of the Mughal capital. Painted in soft watercolour with fine ink lines and no facial features, smoke and skyline dissolving into white space at the edges. A dramatic, weighty piece for a study, library, office or hallway.
Rebel soldiers had declared Bahadur Shah Zafar their sovereign in May 1857. The siege lasted months. When the walls fell, neighbourhoods were cleared, property confiscated and the Red Fort turned into barracks. The uprising ended, and with it the Mughal dynasty. The last emperor was tried and exiled to Rangoon.
A powerful gift for a historian or anyone with Delhi or Indian heritage. Part of the Riwayah Studio Azadi collection: 1857 rebellion poster, Delhi wall art, Red Fort print, Mughal Empire art, colonial history wall decor.
Country of origin: designed in the United Kingdom and printed to order in your own region, so US orders are printed and shipped within the US with no customs charges or import duty. This is an original paper art print.
Printed on premium 200 gsm matte paper with a smooth, uncoated finish that holds deep colour without glare. The paper is FSC certified and archival quality, so the artwork will not yellow over time.
