Examine the landscape-based work of Eugène von Guérard and John Wolseley.
Describe the relationship that exists between each artist and the world around them.
Best known for his dramatic large-scale paintings of Australian bush, Eugène von Guérard painted in the sublime. He worked in the German scene convention, which proposed the nearness of perfect powers in nature, and his sketches were praised by pundits for their method and magnificence. He involved a critical place in the beginning imaginative group in Melbourne as Master of Painting and guardian of the National Gallery of Victoria. Less than a century later, John Wolseley lived and worked all through Europe before migrating to Australia in 1976, where he voyaged widely through the outback. Wolseley kept on expecting the part of a traveller in looking for new areas and setting out upon the investigation of scenes and debilitated environments. His work is spoken to in numerous conspicuous Australian and British accumulations including the National Gallery of Australia.
Eugène von Guérard would go out and explore, from his trips he would bring back finely detailed drawings in his sketch book, which he later used as the basis of his landscape

Wolseley's portrayal of the numerous strategies he utilizes — decollage (a kind of reverse collage), crumplage, chiasmage, frotting, veiling, grattage, prollage, rollage, transformations, nature printing, intaglio printing — is evidence of his delight in words. It recommends, as well, his perpetual investigation of procedures that may empower him to make craftsmanship that is as quite a bit of and by nature as it is about nature. This is evident in Ephermeral Water with New Growth- Murray Sunset National Park, (2012, see Figure
Rosie Gascoigne, is an artist who has aspired an appreciation for undiserable remnants and utilised with them in purpose to produce an assemblage of work that sees into a reflection of the past and present landscape of Australian society. Her growing motivation has taken further interest and development as the founding layers of her work through her deliberate perception, subject to the preservation of the environment and surrounding landscape. Gascoigne’s work offers an insight into deep country outback life of an Australian individual and introduces conceptualities that mirror a focus situated about ‘re-using’, ‘ recycling’ and understanding the insightful meaning present within everyday remnants. Her work is a collective gathering of selected materials to form a composition or an
Joseph Mallord William Turner, 1775-1851, born the son of a London Barber and Wigmaker, is considered one of the greatest European artists of the 19th century. Turner, the English romantic landscape painter, watercolourists and printmaker, was regarded as a controversial and revolutionary figure by his contemporaries despite his training being similar to other artists of the time. His work ‘Walton Bridge’, Oil on Canvas 1806-10, reflects much of his training as a young artists as well as his well-known Romantic style. In this essay I will follow the beginnings of Turners artistic life, showing how his influences, training and opinions surrounding landscape painting have influenced his work ‘Walton Bridge.’ I will further explore how art critics, fellow artists and the wider public of the 19th Century received ‘Walton Bridge’ and his Landscape paintings in general.
Themistocles contribution to the defence of Greece was more significant than any other Greek individual. To what extent do you agree?
This work shows impeccably drawn beech and basswood trees. It was painted for a New York collector by the name of Abraham M. Cozzens who was then a member of the executive committee of the American Art-Union. The painting shows a new trend in the work of the Hudson River School. It depicts a scene showing a tranquil mood. Durand was influenced by the work of the English landscape painter John Constable, whose vertical formats and truth to nature he absorbed while visiting England in 1840.
A comparison of Nolan and Gleeson attitude towards surrealistic paintings reveals a clear distinction: while Nolan’s painting is mostly defined by social-political environment of those times without offering any opinions; Gleeson’s surrealism expresses the human conscious, subconscious and unconscious mind. While Nolan is involved in displaying the heroisms of Ned Kelly; Gleeson is obsessed with portraying mankind universal struggle from barriers. Nevertheless, both the styles resonated well with the Australian masses. In other words, their artistic works fulfils cultural transformation of a certain period of time and both the painters contribute equally to change the perspective of people viewing Australia, the outback, for the very first time.
The oil on canvas painting by Thomas Cole named The Fountain of Vaucluse is a painting that is best appreciated in person. The painting is something that can’t be seen in just a few minutes to really take in all that it has to offer. The different emphasis on colors, and the use of 2D and 3D visual illustrations can be over-welling to the viewer. As I gazed upon the painting I found my viewpoint of interest change do to the altered landscape illusion that came into focus.
Evidence of both Naturalism and Impressionism exists within Golden Summer. Although the Heidelberg artists are often termed ‘Australian Impressionists’, and it is true that the artists worked en plein air to create a faithful record of the colour and light effects of the local landscape, the composition is quite clearly focused on rural life. Golden Summer is quite clearly structured as a panoramic Australian idyll, and it retains a greater sense of form than more radical works by French Impressionists.
Landscape painting was extremely important during the middle of the nineteenth century. One of the leading practitioners of landscape painters in America was Thomas Cole. He visited many places seeking the “natural” world to which he might utilize his direct observations to convey the untainted nature by man to his audience. His works resolved to find goodness in American land and to help Americans take pride in their unique geological features created by God. Thomas Cole inspired many with his brilliant works by offering satisfaction to those seeking the “truth” (realism) through the works of others.
John Monash is one of Australians most remembered military commanders from World War One. Monash was born in Melbourne on the 27th June 1865, and died in Melbourne 66 years later on the 8th of October 1931 from a heart attack, then in which he got given a state funeral. Monash spent his years of education at Scotch College in Melbourne, then went to Melbourne University where he then began his career as a civil engineer. By 1895 he had grades in arts, engineering and law and had trained as a public surveyor, and an engineer of water supply. During this time Monash went though severe depression, as a result of this he than started a business that tried to improve the shipping to and from Melbourne. After this, in 1884 he then began his military career in 1884. Monash served Australia in World War One and finished as the General which is the second highest ranking in the Australian military. The commands he also held during the war included the Australian Corps, 3rd Australian Division, and the 4th, 13th and 15th Australian Infantry Brigade.
It appears to me that pictures have been over-valued; held up by a blind admiration as ideal things, and almost as standards by which nature is to be judged rather than the reverse; and this false estimate has been sanctioned by the extravagant epithets that have been applied to painters, and "the divine," "the inspired," and so forth. Yet in reality, what are the most sublime productions of the pencil but selections of some of the forms of nature, and copies of a few of her evanescent effects, and this is the result, not of inspiration, but of long and patient study, under the instruction of much good sense…
In “Making a Picture of the View from Mount Holyoke”, Alan Wallach argues that Thomas Cole created a new perspective of landscape art in his 1836 painting of View from Mount Holyoke (The Oxbow). His perspective merges a panoramic view with precise attention to detail, and with those things The Oxbow has the ability to give the viewer a sense of power. Wallach states that “the tourist experiences a sudden access of power, a sudden dizzying sense of having suddenly come into possession of a terrain stretching as far as the eye could see”. This combination of optical elevation with a sense of power created the “pantropic sublime”.
Depression is the leading cause of disability globally. 18 million adults in US are affected by it, twice as many women as men. It is ranked right after high blood pressure in terms of chronic medical condition. Even though many people are affected by it, millions more cases are not diagnosed because people are reluctant to seek help, fearing the stigma which is attached to mental illness or they simply do not realize they are ill. The symptoms can range from mild to severe, feeling hopelessness and despair.
Thomas Wolsey was born and raised in Ipswhich, Suffolk. Ipswhich, Suffolk is a town located in England. Thomas was Robert Wolsey’s son who which was a butcher and cattle dealer. He was highly intelligent. In fact, at the age of 15, he attended Magdalen College, Oxford. He was appointed Henry VIII’s Chaplain in 1507. Thomas Wolsey was mainly known for building Hampton Court; the Hampton court was later taken over by Henry VIII. Hampton Court was a marvellous place that was all about presentation, from the way you looked, to the way the table was set up. Thomas Wolsey built on from the basic structure of Knight Hospitaller to Hampton Court. Many kings and queens remodeled Hampton Court in various ways when they were residence; such as William
Artists of the Modernist era responded to the relationship of body and landscape in many different ways. This essay will focus on the works of Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986) and Barbara Hepworth (1903-1975) and will explore two works by each artist. A desire of the Modernist artist was the pursuit of pure forms and removal of extraneous detail that would encumber their vision of what the world should, or in fact did look like to them. As Honour and Flemming (2009) propose, the thought of seeking original elucidations to the issues that surrounded the production of paintings and sculpture helped to propel the movement forward.
This was not Breughel’s intended message, as it has been re-contextualized to reflect Auden’s ideas, but it is still a powerful statement. Pieter Breughel’s painting, Landscape with
