About the piece
Painted around 1895 by William Piguenit, this work captures the historic 1890 flood of the Darling River in New South Wales. The composition masterfully balances the immense scale of the storm-tinged sky with the delicate details of wading birds and glass-like reflections, embodying the artist's fascination with the sublime and atmospheric quality of the Australian wilderness.
