This is one of my appropriations of an Arthur Streeton view of the Hawkesbury River. Streeton was a great Australian landscape painter of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s and a leading member of the famous Heidelberg School, that included Tom Roberts, Charles Conder and Frederick McCubbin. He was in my opinion the best observer of the Australian light.
I also painted the larger 63 x 50 cm oil on canvas appropriation below.
Streeton’s original painting titled ‘The purple noon’s transparent might’ was a large 1.23 m square oil on canvas painted in 1896 and is hanging in the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne. It is a view of the Hawkesbury River from North Richmond.
