Augustus Earle

Augustus Earle, ''Portrait of Bungaree, a native of New South Wales, with Fort Macquarie, Sydney Harbour, in background'', (1826): oil on canvas; 68.5 x 50.5 cm. [[National Library of Australia Augustus Earle (1 June 1793 – 10 December 1838) was a British painter. Unlike earlier artists who worked outside Europe and were employed on voyages of exploration or worked abroad for wealthy, often aristocratic patrons, Earle was able to operate quite independently – able to combine his lust for travel with an ability to earn a living through art. The body of work he produced during his travels comprises a significant documentary record of the effects of European contact and colonisation during the early nineteenth century.
