William Charles Piguenit, 1836-1914, Australian.
Unassuming and retiring, he shrank from controversy and quietly resigned from the Art Society of New South Wales when it split over the impressionist movement. The first Australian-born artist of note, he delighted in mountain scenery and often chose dramatic subjects for his painting.
Mount Kosciusko is the highest point in Australia.
