Thomas Daniell began his career as a landscape painter travelling extensively throughout Great Britain and executing many fine topographical views. In 1784 he departed, in the company of his nephew William, for India where they were both to remain for ten years. Together they executed a number of major works in engraving and watercolours and were to publish 'Scenes Orientales' a series of six volumes published between 1795 and 1815. Indian views were from then on to be his favourite subject and he was to execute quite a number of fine views.
