A well-regarded monograph on Isaac Walter Jenner, a significant yet often underappreciated figure in 19th-century Australian painting. Jenner is best known for his atmospheric maritime and river scenes, particularly those capturing the Brisbane River and colonial Queensland landscapes.
 
This volume provides a scholarly yet accessible study of Jenner’s life and artistic development, tracing:
His early training in England
Migration to Australia during the colonial period
His contribution to Queensland’s early visual culture
The evolution of his distinctive tonal and light-driven style
 
The inclusion of both colour plates and archival material makes this an excellent reference for collectors and historians alike.
