About Mr Robinson's house on the Derwent, Van Diemen's Land
Mr Robinson's house on the Derwent, Van Diemen's Land is one of John Glover's most magical landscapes, and his earliest and loveliest portrait of a country house. With the light rising from the hills in the distance, radiating over the water and glistening on the leaves in the trees, the scene resembles an Arcadia – a blessed place. Glover shows that he was captivated by this new world where he arrived in 1831. His curly trees are not an affectation, but seem almost animated. The sky is luminescent, the encircling hills are drenched in warm sunlight, and majestic eucalypts stand as witness to the artist's wonder at and respect for Australia.
