Early Life and Training

, a prominent Australian landscape painter, was born on April 8, 1867, in Duneed, Victoria. He began his artistic journey at the National Gallery School under George Folingsby's guidance in 1882. This early training laid the foundation for his future success as a leading member of the Heidelberg School, also known as Australian Impressionism.

Career Highlights

Streeton's work rapidly improved during his formative years, and by 1888, he was widely regarded as one of Victoria's most gifted young painters. His association with fellow artists Tom Roberts and Frederick McCubbin led to the formation of a two-year period of close creative companionship, which would eventually become known as the Heidelberg School movement.

Eaglemont Camp and Notable Works

Streeton's time at Eaglemont Camp in 1888 marked a significant turning point in his career. This period saw the creation of notable works such as Golden Summer, Eaglemont (1889) and 'Still glides the stream, and shall for ever glide' (1890). These sunlit pastoral scenes showcased Streeton's unique style, which would later be exhibited at the Royal Academy in London and awarded a Mention honorable at the 1892 Paris Salon.

Legacy and Later Life

Streeton's later years saw him sail for London on the Polynesien in 1897, with subsequent exhibitions at the Royal Academy in 1900. Although he developed a considerable reputation in Australia, he failed to achieve the same success in England. Streeton passed away on September 1, 1943.
