"The Great Divide" is a notable watercolor painting by the Australian artist William Blamire Young (1862–1935). Created in 1915, this work is considered one of Young's most significant contributions to Australian art, particularly within the medium of watercolor. The painting depicts the natural landscape feature known as the Great Dividing Range, which is the longest mountain range in Australia and a subject that has inspired many artists due to its dramatic scenery and cultural significance.

In "The Great Divide," Young employs his distinctive style, characterized by a bold use of color and a fluidity of form that reflects the influence of Post-Impressionism and the Arts and Crafts movement. His approach to watercolor was innovative for the time, moving away from the more traditional, detailed British style towards a freer, more expressive technique that captured the essence and atmosphere of the Australian landscape.

The composition of "The Great Divide" is marked by a harmonious blend of natural forms and a palette that conveys the unique light and color of the Australian bush. Young's treatment of the subject matter reflects both an intimate familiarity with the terrain and a broader interest in exploring the emotional and symbolic potential of the landscape.

As a significant work in Young's oeuvre, "The Great Divide" is not only an artistic representation of a geographical feature but also a reflection of the nation's identity during the early 20th century. It encapsulates the themes of exploration, the sublime in nature, and the emerging sense of an Australian national character as distinct from European influences.

"The Great Divide" is held in a public collection and has been exhibited in various galleries, contributing to the understanding and appreciation of Australian landscape painting and the development of watercolor as a serious artistic medium in the country. The painting is also an important piece for studying the evolution of Young's artistic style and the broader trends in Australian art during the early 1900s.
