Further information
'This morning hot, windy, and warm, as I travel down the line, & the mirage sizzling and jiggering over the railway track. I arrive at my cutting, 'The fatal cutting', and inwardly rejoice at the prosperous warmth all glowing before me ... all is serene as I work & peg away ... 12 o'clock ... & now I hear 'Fire! Fire's on!', from the gang close by ... BOOM! & then rumbling of rock. The navvy under the rock with me, & watching, says, 'Man killed' ... more shots & crashing rock we peep over; he lies all hidden bar his legs. All the shots are now gone except one, and all wait, not daring to go near; then men, nippers, and a woman hurry down, ... and they raise the rock and lift him on to the stretcher, fold his arms over his chest, and slowly six of 'em carry him past me ...'
- Arthur Streeton, 1891
'Fire's on' constitutes a radical new type of landscape in Streeton's oeuvre and is possibly the artist's greatest evocation of Australian heat and sunlight. Essentially an enlarged sketch, it was begun in response to the Art Gallery of New South Wales annual watercolour prize, which encouraged artists to paint the picturesque scenery of New South Wales.
Completed on site at the mouth of a railway tunnel under construction in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, the painting depicts the death of a railway worker in a premature explosion. However, the human drama is overshadowed by the heroism of the landscape itself.
