"The Break Away" is a renowned painting by the eminent Australian artist Tom Roberts, a leading figure in the Heidelberg School, which was instrumental in the development of Australian impressionism. Completed in 1891, this work is one of Roberts' most celebrated pieces and exemplifies his skill in capturing the essence of the Australian landscape and rural life.

The painting depicts a dramatic moment on a sheep station, where sheep have broken away from the flock, and a stockman, mounted on his horse, is in pursuit to regain control. The sense of movement and urgency is palpable in the composition, with the stockman's figure leaning into the chase and the sheep scattering in different directions. Roberts' use of impasto and his ability to convey the harsh, bright light of the Australian sun showcases his impressionistic techniques and his dedication to painting en plein air.

Measuring 122.4 cm × 183.3 cm, "The Break Away" is a large-scale work that immerses the viewer in the action of the scene. The painting is held in the collection of the Art Gallery of South Australia in Adelaide, where it continues to be a highlight for visitors and a significant piece in the narrative of Australian art history.

Roberts' work is often associated with the national identity of Australia, and "The Break Away" is no exception. It captures the vastness of the Australian landscape and the rugged, resilient character of those who worked the land. The painting is a testament to the artist's commitment to depicting the realities of Australian life and landscape, and it remains an iconic image in the canon of Australian art.
