Sir Hans Heysen OBE (8 October 1877 – 2 July 1968) was an Australian artist.

One of Australia's best known landscape painters,[1] Heysen became a household name during his lifetime for his watercolours and oil paintings of the Australian bush, in particular men and animals toiling among monumental gum trees against a background of atmospheric light.[2] He also won acclaim for his groundbreaking depictions of arid landscapes in the Flinders Ranges. He won the Wynne Prize for landscape painting a record nine times.
