Whakatata mai ki te kanohi kaumatua e tau nei, e titiro mai ano
Draw closer to ancient faces portrayed, looking at you

For the first time in 36 years the works of New Zealand's most famous portrait painters, Charles Goldie and Gottfried Lindauer, are compared side-by-side. Goldie's approach to portraiture was one of technical excellence and impressive drawing skills while Lindauer's was to capture the very essence and presence of his subject. Both artists provide insights and information into the history of Aotearoa, making them destination paintings for both local and international visitors.
