Resolution
This week saw the return of William Hodges' oil Dusky Bay to New Zealand.
It has never been exhibited in New Zealand.
The work on wood was painted when the artist sailed here with Captain James Cook on the HMS Resolution and is thought to have been painted from the ship's deck.
It was completed early in Captain Cook's second voyage to the Pacific after the first 1769 HMS Endeavour expedition 242 years ago making it the first (and oldest) painting of New Zealand.
