It’s jacaranda season once again, and Brisbane is awash with a sea of purple beauty. Few works in our Collection have enjoyed as much popularity as Under the jacaranda, a painting of the first tree grown in Australia in our City Botanical Gardens 160 years ago. Here we delve into the story behind its planting and the painting.
