Sir Arthur Ernest Streeton (1867–1943) was a great Australian Impressionist landscape painter. He was born in Duneed, Victoria, Australia. Aged 15 years, he began night classes at the National Gallery of Victoria School of Design. He also learned the rudiments from studying art manuals and photographs.

At age nineteen, he began an apprenticeship as a lithographer. He also joined a painting group where he painted plein air, alongside Tom Roberts, Frederick McCubbin, and Louis Abrahams. He soon became a full time painter and developed a friendship with Charles Conder. The group of artists often camped and painted outdoors at Box Hill, Heidelberg, and the Yarra. They also provided art lessons and formed the Heidelberg School. During the 1890s, Streeton traveled further inland in New South Wales to explore the outback and the Hawkesbury River.

Streeton traveled to England. He took some time to adjust his artistic identity and become acquainted with very different landscapes. His best market was sending his English works for sale in Australia. Gradually, he began to win recognition in England, France, and the United States.

In 1915, Streeton served as a private in the Australian Army Medical Corps. After three years, he was appointed an official war artist and painted the Western Front in France. After the war, Streeton returned to painting romantic visions of the Australian landscape. By this time, he was a well-established painter. In 1937, was knighted for services to the arts.

The Great Ocean Road was constructed by returned servicemen between 1919 and 1932 as a memorial to their fallen comrades who gave the ultimate sacrifice in WWI. This opened up the coastline which previously was only accessible by sea or rough bush track, giving Streeton the opportunity to paint this work.

Your morning meditation, from His Holiness:

“There is a saying in Tibetan, 'Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.'

No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster.”

Arthur Streeton - Golden summer, Eaglemont - 1889

Golden Summer, Eaglemont is an 1889 painting by Australian artist Arthur Streeton. Painted during a summer drought when Streeton was twenty-one years old, it is an idyllic depiction of sunlit, undulating plains in rural Heidelberg on Melbourne's outskirts. Naturalistic yet poetic, and a conscious effort by Streeton to create his most epic work yet, it is a prime example of the artist's distinctive, high-keyed blue and gold palette, what he considered "nature's scheme of colour in Australia". It is one of his most famous works and is considered a masterpiece of Australian Impressionism.

On this day, 150 years ago, on 8th April 1867,  Arthur Streeton, was born.

Arthur Streeton was an Australian landscape painter and key member of the Heidelberg School of Australian Impressionism.

He joined fellow artist Tom Roberts  Frederick McCubbin, and later Charles Conder, at Box Hill and Heidelberg in Victoria where painting in the open air, they worked on representing Australia’s light, heat, space and distance.

After the Art Gallery of New South Wales bought his painting ‘Still glides the stream, and shall for ever glide’ 1890, Streeton moved to Sydney in the early 1890s where he painted views of the city, harbour and beaches and established an artists’ camp in Mosman. He painted Fire’s on in 1891, an evocative work of the country’s light, heat and dust . His growing critical success culminated in a solo exhibition in Melbourne in 1896.

Streeton travelled to London in 1897, where he lived for the next three decades, with frequent return visits to Australia. Enlisting in the Australian army medical corps in 1915, he was appointed an official war artist in 1918. In paintings such as Villers Bretonneux, he documented the Western Front, focusing on the devastated terrain rather than the drama of human suffering.

Returning to Victoria in 1923, Streeton won the Wynne Prize in 1928, and in 1929 became art critic for the newspaper The Argus. He was knighted in 1937 and died at his property in Olinda, Victoria, in 1943. (Biography: courtesy - Art Gallery of NSW)

The State Library of New South Wales  holds two of his sketchbooks and   Letters (12) received, 1907-1929 mainly concerning artists and art .
