| Notes: |
"The co-curators of the exhibition ... are Ruth Pullin and Michael Varcoe-Cocks, with special assistance from Humphrey Clegg." Today the beautiful portrayals of the Australian landscape by artist Eugene von Guerard have become critically relevant to understanding our fragile environment. This illustrated art reference book draws on new research and previously unpublished works to follow the artist's early life through the great centres of Rome, Naples and Dusseldorf and examine the ways in which 19th century German art and science informed his vision. Published to coincide with the National Gallery of Victoria's Von Guerard exhibition April to August 2011.
