 The New Zealand Paintings of William Strutt
Although his New Zealand sojourn lasted for only sixteen months (from March 1855 until July 1856) William Strutt was certainly the most competent professional artist to visit this country in the mid-nineteenth century.
It represents a raid of New Zealanders upon the flocks and herds of some settlers; and as every figure in this composition was a study from the life, and all the adjuncts of the scene are likewise faithfully copied from nature.
It is this concern for accuracy (for example in the costumes and botanical embellishments of his New Zealand subjects) that gives them that authenticity of time and place so important to the academic history painter of the nineteenth century.
