"Hideous fidelity to nature": John Glover and the colonised landscape

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

    Abstract

    This chapter considers the Australian paintings of the British landscape painter John Glover from multiple perspectives. It explores not only the dichotomy of their having stylistic origins in the Claudean Picturesque while offering naturalistic responses to the environment, but also broader issues such as the introduction of European plants to Van Diemen's Land and the nature of colonial pastoralism and agriculture.
