Australian Society and Culture

Read about Gallipoli at the Australian Government Visit Gallipoli website and which contains links to other relevant information.
There have been many interesting Australian painters. Among them were Arthur Streeton who's painting Near Heidelberg 1890 you see here, courtesy of The National Gallery of Victoria. Streeton's early paintings were mainly plein air works, usually completed in one session. He occasionally made preliminary oil studies or watercolours for his larger paintings. See this link for more information on Streeton. Other painters of this style in Australia include Tom Roberts and Frederick McCubbin who, with Streeton, were members of the so-called "Heidelberg School" of art. (Heidelberg is near Melbourne). You may wish to compare this movement to our own "Hudson River School."
