John Glover and the Colonial Picturesque | Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery | 2003 [USED – HC]

The catalogue produced to accompany the major 2003 Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery exhibition on John Glover — the English landscape painter who emigrated to Tasmania in 1831 at the age of 63 and spent the last eighteen years of his life painting the Tasmanian landscape at his property Patterdale near Evandale. Glover arrived in Van Diemen's Land having already established a considerable reputation as a landscape painter in Britain, where he had exhibited at the Royal Academy.

In Tasmania he found a subject that transformed his work — the light, the distinctive eucalypt forests and the Aboriginal people he encountered became the focus of his most significant paintings. His depictions of Aboriginal life in Van Diemen's Land are among the most important visual records of that era.

This catalogue covers Glover's full career — his English and European work as well as the Tasmanian paintings — with colour illustrations throughout. It includes lists of oil paintings and other works held in public collections, an index to titles of works, and a general index.

At 312 pages it is the most comprehensive reference on Glover's work available.
