• Born in Austria, Jean Eugène von Guérard arrived in Australia in 1852 to try his luck in the goldfields. However, with little success, he soon returned to his talent as an artist to make a living. By the early 1860s, he was known as the leading landscape painter in the colonies, touring the wilds of Victoria, Tasmania, New South Wales, South Australia and New Zealand in pursuit of the sublime and picturesque.
