Mount Olympus, Lake St Clair, Tasmania, the source ... is a 1875 oil by William Piguenit, a Impressionism work, held at Art Gallery of New South Wales.
This painting shows a serene landscape with a mountain in the background and a lake in the foreground. The mountain is rugged and rocky, with trees and bushes scattered around its base. The lake is calm and peaceful, reflecting the beauty of the surrounding landscape. In the distance, you can see a small boat sailing on the lake, adding a sense of movement and life to the scene. The sky above is cloudy, with a few patches of blue peeking through, casting a warm glow over the entire scene. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and dimension, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene.
