Sir Arthur Ernest Streeton (1867–1943) was a great Australian Impressionist landscape painter. He was born in Duneed, Victoria, Australia. Aged 15 years, he began night classes at the National Gallery of Victoria School of Design. He also learned the rudiments from studying art manuals and photographs.

At age nineteen, he began an apprenticeship as a lithographer. He also joined a painting group where he painted plein air, alongside Tom Roberts, Frederick McCubbin, and Louis Abrahams. He soon became a full time painter and developed a friendship with Charles Conder. The group of artists often camped and painted outdoors at Box Hill, Heidelberg, and the Yarra. They also provided art lessons and formed the Heidelberg School. During the 1890s, Streeton traveled further inland in New South Wales to explore the outback and the Hawkesbury River.

Streeton traveled to England. He took some time to adjust his artistic identity and become acquainted with very different landscapes. His best market was sending his English works for sale in Australia. Gradually, he began to win recognition in England, France, and the United States.

In 1915, Streeton served as a private in the Australian Army Medical Corps. After three years, he was appointed an official war artist and painted the Western Front in France. After the war, Streeton returned to painting romantic visions of the Australian landscape. By this time, he was a well-established painter. In 1937, was knighted for services to the arts.

Arthur Streeton - Posillipo. 1897

Did a short art workshop today with a friend, where we were doing studies of urban landscape paintings. Considering we only had about 3 hours, and I haven't touched acrylic paints since high school, I'm moderately happy with this? There are some very unfinished patches but hey. One of the classic views of Sydney Harbour, though not the most obvious one, after part of an Arthur Streeton oil painting.

Photography absolutely butchers traditional art and this is also A3 size, so here's a closeup of texture:

20.3 x 30.1 inches, 51.5 x 76.5 cm. Estimate: Aus$300,000-500,000.

Sold Smith & Singer, Sydney, 16 Nov 2022 for Aus$540,000 incl B.P.

Depicts The Arch, Great Ocean Road, Port Campbell National Park, Victoria, Australia.

The Great Ocean Road was constructed by returned servicemen between 1919 and 1932 as a memorial to their fallen comrades who gave the ultimate sacrifice in WWI. This opened up the coastline which previously was only accessible by sea or rough bush track, giving Streeton the opportunity to paint this work.

Recent highlights of the work by many visiting scientists at the Australian Synchrotron include investigations of chemical compounds for the development of anti-cancer drugs, scanning an entire Arthur Streeton painting to identify individual brushstrokes of different colours based on the distribution of different elements on the canvas, and investigation of advanced materials for incorporation into re-chargeable Li-ion batteries.
