Johann Joseph Eugene von Guerard (1811 - 1901) was born in Vienna. His father, a painter for Emperor Franz I, used to take him to Italy, where Johann formed his style of painting. Artists that had a great influence on him were Nicolas Poussin and Claude Lorrain. He deepened his art education at the academy in Düsseldorf. He concentrated on classicist landscapes, especially on the romantic German landscape traditional union of God and nature, as he saw in the paintings of Caspar David Friedrich. In 1852, von Guerard went to Australia to try his luck as a gold digger. This, however, failed. Nevertheless, he did many studies and sketches of similar adventurers. A few years later, he became a recognized painter in the colonies. He exhibited paintings such as Yalla y Poora in New Zealand. In particular, his wilderness paintings with elaborate fauna and flora became a botanical template for the cultivation of the earth one hundred years later. Two years after his wife's death, he declared personal bankruptcy and lived in poverty in Chelsea, London.
