Nerli

A study of the Italian painter Girolamo Pieri Nerli, who spent the last two decades of the nineteenth century in Australia and New Zealand, and is best known as a teacher of Frances Hodgkins and Charles Conder and portraitist of the ailing Robert Louis Stevenson. Nerli painted a great variety of subjects in a wide range of styles and is associated with the Heidelberg School in Australia and with the introduction of Impressionism to the Antipodes. Though he returned to Europe, his most important work was done in the South Pacific and most of it remains here.
