Context: The Heidelberg School was an Australian art movement of the late 19th century. It has been described as Australian impressionism. The term has since evolved to cover these and other painters who worked together at "artists' camps" around Melbourne and Sydney in the 1880s and 1890s. Drawing on naturalist and impressionist ideas, they sought to capture Australian life, the bush, and the harsh sunlight that typifies the country.
