About the piece
Painted by Charles Blomfield in 1897, this work depicts the majestic White Terraces of Rotomahana, New Zealand. Though the geothermal formations were destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1886, Blomfield's masterful oil painting preserves their luminous beauty and ethereal presence. The composition balances the cool tones of the silica pools with a brooding, atmospheric sky and the warm, earthy tones of the surrounding hills.
