About the piece
Painted in 1886 by Charles Blomfield, this work serves as a vital record of the 'Pink Terraces' (Otukapuarangi) of New Zealand, which were destroyed later that same year. The painting masterfully captures the luminous, tiered silica formations and the atmospheric steam rising against a backdrop of rugged volcanic mountains and soft, overcast light.
