Artist's Footsteps Eugene von Guerard continued with his pen and ink and pencil sketching trips for the next fifteen years, and his travels took him to many of the remote areas of Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, New South Wales and New Zealand. Eugene von Guerard was very much a pioneer, and was obviously a man of considerable strength and determination, venturing into many remote areas in search of his landscape subjects. Mount Von Guerard in the Alpine National Park in the far north-east of Victoria, stands as a reminder of Eugene von Guerard, and was named in recognition of his outstanding ability as an artist, his contribution to science and his pioneering spirit. www.artistsfootsteps.com /html/vonGuerard_biography.htm   (3240 words)

Eugene Johan Joseph von Guérard 1811-1901 - Ronald Coles Investment Gallery   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Eugene von Guerard is seen at his best in this painting, in which he combines masterly composition and sense of form with majestic sublimity. In January of 1862 von Guerard went on a sketching trip to the Goulburn Valley, a trip which inspired this painting. Von Guerard, as a latter day romantic, was no exception, as attested by two brilliant and large works painted on matching canvases the year following these journeys - Mount Kosciusko in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia, and this painting. ronaldcolesgalleries.com.au /guerard-valley_of_the_acheron_river.html   (980 words)

Eugen Guérard Johann Joseph Eugen von Guérard (known in Australia as Eugène), Australia's most important romantic landscape painter of the third quarter of the 1800s, arrived at Geelong on 28th December 1852 on the Windermere. Von Guérard stayed in Düsseldorf until 1852, when he spent a short time working in England as drawing tutor to the son of Augustus Tulk, who later became the first librarian of the Melbourne Public Library. Von Guérard first spent 13 months on the goldfields near Ballarat (and made many sketches of life on the diggings) before continuing his career as a painter in Melbourne. www.teachers.ash.org.au /dnutting/germanaustralia/e/guerard.htm   (272 words)

Victorian Gold - The Ian Potter Museum of Art Eugène von Guérard arrived in Victoria in December 1852, and after a short visit to Melbourne, he travelled to the Ballarat gold-fields. Von Guérard made a significant contribution to our knowledge of the Victorian gold rush period through the illustrated journal he kept as a digger. Despite the wealth generated by the gold-fields, the pastoral squatters of Victoria were the major art patrons in the colony during the 1850s and 1860s. www.art-museum.unimelb.edu.au /victorian_gold/arrivals/guerardintro.html   (244 words)

Education Kit for Mount Kosciusko, seen from the Victorian border (Mount Hope Ranges) by Eugene von Guerard By the time von Guerard left Australia for England in 1881 Marvellous Melbourne was an imposing city with numerous theatres, music halls, a new state collection, imposing architecture, a telephone exchange, cable trams, gas lighting, The Age newspaper, rail connections, and the Melbourne Cup. In October 1862 von Guerard began a tour of the north-eastern district of Victoria and Mount Kosciusko with Professor Georg von Neumayer, who was conducting a magnetic survey for the Victorian colonial government. In Italy von Guerard became familiar with the landscape art of the 'idyllic' Claude Lorraine, the 'heroic' Nicolas Poussin and the 'wildly turbulent' Salvator Rosa. www.ngv.vic.gov.au /collection/australian/painting/g/vonguerard_e/education_kit.html   (1070 words)

Last check: 2007-10-09) Eugene von Guerard and Thomas Clark both arrived in Australia in the early 1850s yet they depict land in quite different ways. Von Guerard (1811-1901) painted 'Tower Hill' as an idyllic landscape where the Aboriginal group, shown in the foreground, appear to live in a latter-day paradise. In von Guerard's later painting of 1884, 'Old Ballarat as it was in the summer of 1853-54', the genesis of a city is captured. www.amol.org.au /discovernet/tales/landscape.asp   (1164 words)

The son of an artist and court painter, von Guérard was born in Vienna, Austria. At Illawarra, von Guérard was able to capture, in minute detail, the character of local flora: cabbage palms, ferns, fig trees, and multiple varieties of vines within the dark green tones of the dense Australian forest. www.cdc.gov /ncidod/EID/vol11no05/about_cover.htm   (997 words)

Little known anniversary heralds advance of Eureka Rebellion sesquicentenary - City of Ballarat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Some thirty years later, as an old man back in Germany, von Guerard used the sketch he made at the diggings to produce the colonial masterpiece ‘Old Ballarat, as it was in the summer of 1853 to 54’. The recommissioning of von Guerard’s Old Ballarat scene, is a precursor to a major von Guerard exhibition which Morrison plans to stage in 2-3 years time. Eugene von Guerard, Australia’s most notable artist from the late Colonial period, went straight to the Diggings at Ballarat upon his arrival in Australia in 1853. www.ballarat.vic.gov.au /page/page.asp?Page_Id=554&h=0   (443 words)

Exactly 150 years ago one of Australia's best artists of the day, Eugene Von Guerard climbed up on a hill and sketched out what would become a timeless vision of Ballarat's early days.

New Worlds From Old - Landscape and artistic development in new worlds In Australia, Eugene von Guérard (1811-1901) echoed Church's passionate striving to capture the essence of the land. Between the mid-1850s and early 1860s von Guérard painted the properties of wealthy farmers in Victoria, the fern gullies of the Dandenong ranges, the mountains in the Grampians and Mt Kosciusko, the coastline at Cape Schanck and the extinct volcano of Tower Hill. Such was the penetrating exactness and vision of von Guérard's work that his painting of Tower Hill (1855) was used over 100 years later, in 1961, as a blueprint for the restoration and reforestation program of the area. www.wsws.org /arts/1998/aug1998/land-a25.shtml   (1937 words)
