About the piece
Painted in 1893, Petrus van der Velden’s ‘Mountain Stream, Otira Gorge’ captures the raw energy of the New Zealand wilderness. The artist uses thick, expressive brushstrokes and a moody, tonal palette to convey the turbulent rush of water against dark, jagged rocks and a somber, forested background, showcasing his roots in the Dutch Hague School style.
