John Glover was an English/Australian artist who has been dubbed the Father Of Australian Landscape Painting. He came to New Zealand in 1831 on his 64th birthday and began painting Australian landscapes. He is best known for his Tasmanian paintings with which he brought a fresh new outlook on Australian landscapes by using the sunlight he saw to make the paintings bright and clear unlike the old English style. Clovers painting were also far more accurate representations of the landscape, especially his trees which were characterised as having flowing branches and limbs.
