About the piece
Created in 1896 during Arthur Streeton's most celebrated period, 'The Purple Noon's Transparent Might' is a hallmark of Australian Impressionism. The painting captures an expansive vista of the Hawkesbury River, where the intense midday heat creates a shimmering, atmospheric haze over the blue-toned mountains and the golden plains of New South Wales.
