Historic Hahndorf

This is one of the pathways leading to the home of the late wonderful artist, Sir Hans Heysen. It is located at Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills and, wandering around his property, one can easily see how his surroundings would have provided inspiration for his marvellous talent.

    Sir Hans lived in such a beautiful place with tranquil surrounds ... conductive no doubt to his ability to convey peacefulness onto his many canvases.
