Arthur Streeton

Arthur Streeton was an Australian painter and one of the leading figures in the Heidelberg School, the first significant art movement in Australia. Streeton is best known for his landscapes that captured the essence of the Australian countryside, particularly the harsh sunlight and expansive vistas. His use of bold colors and expressive brushstrokes helped define Australian Impressionism. Streeton's work had a profound influence on the development of Australian art, with notable pieces such as "The Purple Noon’s Transparent Might" and "Still Glides the Stream."
