Pierneef’s Johannesburg Station Panels Constitute the largest single commission of landscape painting in the history of South Africa. They were painted at an important time for Afrikaner nationalism. In his landscapes Pierneef addressed the Afrikaner’s nostalgia for the land, their imperialist desires, and he helped legitimize their exclusive claim to South Africa.
