About the piece

Arthur Streeton's 1891 masterpiece 'Fire’s on' is a cornerstone of Australian Impressionism. The work captures the construction of the Glenbrook Tunnel, utilizing a daring vertical composition to emphasize the sheer scale of the sandstone cliffs and the intense, bleaching light of the Australian sun.
