About the piece
In this 1885 oil painting, Charles Blomfield masterfully documents the geothermal landscape of Orakei Korako. The scene captures a Maori village with traditional thatched dwellings overlooking the winding Waikato River, while plumes of steam rise from the valley floor against a backdrop of sunlit, hazy mountains.
