The Heidelberg School was an
Australian art movement of the late 19th century.The name refers to the then rural area near
Melbourne where practitioners of the style found their subjects, though usage expanded to cover other Australian artists working in similar areas. The core group painted there on several occasions at "artist's camps" in the late 1880s and early 1890s. The term was coined in 1891 by local art critic Sidney Dickenson, reviewing the works of
Arthur Streeton and
Walter Withers. Other major artists in the movement included
Tom Roberts,
Frederick McCubbin and
Charles Conder.
