Glover O.W.S., John (1767 – 1849) – Lake District; Ullswater from Patterdale.

Like many artists of his generation Glover was spellbound by the landscape of the Lake District. He visited regularly from the 1790s and in c.1818-20 bought Blawick Farm just north of Patterdale at Place Fell. This is a view from near his house looking over Ullswater towards Glenridding Dodd and Sheffield Pike with Helvellyn rising up at the left of the composition. Glover exhibited numerous views of the Lake District over his career, but this example, in the full glory of its original colour, is a particularly beautiful example. He had a deep love of the land here and after emigrating to Van Diemen Land, named his new Australian home 'Patterdale'. There is a large composition by Glover of a similar view in oils in the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
