A TRIBUTE TO A GREAT ARTIST
Glover arrived in Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania), Australia on his 64th birthday in 1831, two decades before the goldrush of the 1850s. He brought with him a strong reputation as a landscape painter. He acquired one of the largest grants of land in Van Diemen's Land at the time at Mills Plains, Deddington. He named his new property Patterdale after Blowick Farm, a property near Patterdale, at the foot of Ullswater in the English Lake District, which he had once owned. Glover is best known now for his paintings of the Tasmanian landscape. He gave a fresh treatment to the effects of the Australian sunlight on the native bushland by depicting it bright and clear, a definite departure from the darker "English country garden" paradigm. His treatment of the local flora was also new because it was a more accurate depiction of the Australian trees and scrubland. Trees by Glover are characterised by having sinuous limbs, somewhat reminiscent of vines.[citation needed] Glover noted the "remarkable peculiarity of the trees" in Australia and observed that "however numerous, they rarely prevent your tracing through them the whole distant country". John Glovers last major work was painted on his 79th birthday. rating reflects the cringe factor. unusual container log only
