A holiday at Mentone

A holiday at Mentone is an 1888 painting by Charles Conder, a leading member of the Heidelberg School movement, also known as Australian impressionism. It depicts people engaged in seaside activities on a sunny day at Mentone Beach, in the Melbourne suburb of Mentone. The painting is celebrated for capturing the heat and brilliant noonday sunshine that is characteristic of Australia.

Noted also for its jokes and visual puns, A holiday at Mentone has been described as "a witty comment on the transformation of nature into artifice through fashion, decorum, and painting".
