Warwick Fuller, 1948 | Plein air painter

Warwick Fuller: "I want my pictures to sing the songs I sang when I painted them. My hope is that if I can paint with the joy of that moment, something of my emotional responses to the moment will shine through".

Warwick Fuller is a renowned proponent of plein air impressionist painting who has been painting professionally in Australia for over 40 years.

Fuller lives on the fringe of the Blue Mountains, in a remote location deep within the Kanimbla Valley.

Perched high on a hillside and with breathtaking views of stunning local scenery, he doesn't need to travel far for inspiration.

Vatican Museums, Hall of Animals

The display in the two rooms which together make up the Hall of the Animals was set up under Pope Pius VI (1775-1799) with antique works of art, often much restored and sometimes completely re-worked, with the aim of creating a 'stone zoo'.

Many artists worked on the sculptures in this display during the 1700s, the most important of whom was Francesco Antonio Franzoni.
