The Blue Mountains west of Sydney have drawn artists since the moment the landscape became accessible to them. The crossing of the mountains by Blaxland, Lawson, and Wentworth in 1813 opened the western interior and established the Mountains as a destination for creatives. From the mid-nineteenth century onwards, the Blue Mountains became one of the defining subjects of Australian landscape painting, attracting artists from the Heidelberg School tradition and beyond. Hugh Speirs's study is the first comprehensive survey of this tradition. An investigation of over 220 artists who worked in the Blue Mountains area across the full span of European settlement in the region, examining not only the individual artists and their works but the artistic, historical, and environmental conditions that shaped what they saw and how they painted it. The approach is as much intellectual as documentary: Speirs is interested in the relationship between a specific landscape and the art it produces, and in the ways in which the particular qualities of the Blue Mountains light, colour, and topography pressed painters toward specific solutions and away from others.
