The British East India Company began in 1600 as a private trading enterprise but grew into a military and political force during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It waged war to rule India and sell opium in China. To support its commercial and imperial goals, the Company encouraged its agents to commission art. Works of art depicted commodities, functioned as gifts to ease trade deals and build alliances, and visually recorded the places and societies where the Company traded and governed. --- --- The artists featured here trained in Indian courts, in art and military institutes in Britain, and in Chinese workshops. In their artistic exchanges, they combined regional methods with new materials and techniques. This exhibition, of more than one hundred objects, is mostly drawn from the YCBA’s rich collection of works from Asia, including rich opaque watercolors, large-scale oil portraits, evocative architectural drafts and a spectacular thirty-seven-foot-long scroll. It takes visitors on a journey through port cities and into the worlds of artists, showing how artists shaped, and were shaped by, the Company’s ruthless ventures while creating artworks of great beauty and innovation.

In the European tradition, these works, which could be held in a hand or worn, are called “miniatures.” The term comes from illuminated medieval manuscripts. By the eighteenth century, Europeans also used this term to describe works made in the Mughal tradition. They saw affinities with their fine detail and glossy surfaces. Artists from both traditions drew inspiration and learned from one another. --- Portrait miniatures often expressed personal ties. Company agents who were far away from their families in Britain kept them as portable tokens of their loved ones. Others memorialized powerful figures like Robert Clive, whose victory at the Battle of Plassey marked the start of the Company’s rule in India. In the nineteenth century, miniatures of buildings became popular souvenirs. --- --- Gallery label for Painters, Ports, and Profits: Artists and the East India Company, 1750-1850 (Yale Center for British Art, 2026-01-08 - 2026-05-31) 62380 300048722 Gallery label 2026-01-08 300055631 ycba_term_38807 oval 300025943 ycba_term_35295 woman 300189808 ycba_term_2036237 figure study 300015637 ycba_term_32667 portrait Laurel Peterson, Painters, ports, and profits : artists and the East India Company 1750-1850, Yale Center for British Art, New Haven and London, 2026, pp. 148-149, pl. 47, N5247 .E23 2025 Oversize (YCBA) 991011250713408651 N5247 .E23 2025 Oversize (YCBA) 1523040996 5682 related to 300055603 500303557 Yale Center for British Art https://britishart.yale.edu Yale Center for British Art, Gift of Roger N.
