Overview

Sydney Long

Sydney Long was an Australian artist. He was influenced by the Heidelberg School but after 1895 Long moved from the Heidelberg School's approach to the Australian landscape (a fusion of Victorian genre painting and a Barbizon-like plein air informal realism). In practice this resulted in a new school of Australian Paganism, reflected in the literature of the period as much as in the art. Long's greatest triumph in this style was The Spirit of the Plains (1897).
