Arthur Streeton
The Purple Noons Transparent Might 1896
Oil on Canvas
123cm x 123cm
In early 1896, Arthur Streeton, who wanted to explore inland Australia to discover virgin land, organised a painting trip to the upper reaches of the Hawkesbury river. ... He painted The Purple Noons Transparent Might at a natural rise between Richmond bridge and Windsor, a small town near the bank of the river. ...
Arthur Streeton had a love for the poetry of English Romantic poets. Percy Bysshe Shelleys poetry profoundly impacted on Streeton who had a deep love and passion for nature and landscapes similar to what the poetry of Shelley expressed. ... Originally The Purple Noons Transparent Might was named simply as Hawkesbury Landscape but was renamed in Melbourne before the paintings second exhibition because Streeton identified that he was in a state of " artistic intoxication with thoughts of Shelley in my mind" when he was painting this canvas.
