Eugene von Guérard Exhibition

Thank you to Keith Staff who has brought to our attention an exhibition of the work of Eugene von Guérard, one of Australia's great colonial landscape painters who drew much inspiration from the Grampians landscape.

Below is a very special painting of the Southern Grampians from the top of Mt. Rouse, completed by Von Guerard in 1861:


The original will be on display along with other paintings of the Grampians and volcanos of the Western District at the Ian Potter Centre, NGV Melbourne, until August 7th.
