Arthur Streeton is one of Australia’s best known and most influential landscape painters. He was a key member of the Heidelberg school of Australian impressionism – the first distinctively Australian school of painting – and painted this landscape at the Eaglemont Homestead near Heidelberg during the summer of 1890, when he was only 22 years old. The scene presents an idealised vision of the Yarra River at Heidelberg, with the Doncaster Tower in the middle distance and the Dandenong Ranges beyond.
