  • WALL LABEL: Hans Heysen: The Creative Journey, 1992

     

    This is based on an illustration of a painting by Corot in The Studio magazine in 1906. The painting was purchased by the National Gallery in Victoria, Melbourne in 1907. Corot’s work inspired several of Heysen’s paintings including Mystic Morn, 1904.
