Who painted the 'In Memoriam' in 1859? |
Thomas Jones Barker Nicolas Jonson Edward Joseph Joseph Noel Paton |
Joseph Noel Paton |
The correct answer is Option (4) → Joseph Noel Paton “In Memoriam” was painted by Joseph Noel Paton two years after the mutiny. One can see English women and children huddled in a circle, looking helpless and innocent, seemingly waiting for the inevitable – dishonour, violence and death. “In Memoriam” does not show gory violence; it only suggests it. It stirs up the spectator’s imagination, and seeks to provoke anger and fury. It represents the rebels as violent and brutish, even though they remain invisible in the picture. In the background one can see the British rescue forces arriving as saviours." |
