Louis Buvelot
Louis Buvelot (March 3, 1814 - 1888) was a Swiss-born painter.
He is best known for his great contribution to Australian art after
he emigrated there in 1865. His works, mostly oil landscapes, are
quite well regarded, but perhaps his impact was even greater as
a tutor of several members of the Heidelberg School. His enthusiasm
for plein air painting (that is, painting directly in the open air)
was a key characteristic of those artists' work.
Buvelot's Australian work hangs in all the major Australian galleries,
as well as the Tate Gallery in London.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h
