"A Corroboree in Van Diemen's Land 1840" is a significant painting by the English-born Australian artist John Glover (1767–1849). Created in 1840, this work is a notable example of Glover's landscape and genre paintings, which often depict the Australian environment and the lives of Indigenous Australians. The term "corroboree" refers to an event where Australian Aboriginal people interact with the Dreamtime through dance, music, and costume. Glover's representation of such an event is particularly valuable as it provides a visual account of Indigenous culture during the early colonial period in Tasmania, then known as Van Diemen's Land.

The painting is characterized by its detailed rendering of the figures and the landscape, with Glover's use of light and color reflecting the unique qualities of the Australian bush. It is part of a broader body of work by Glover that helped to shape European perceptions of Australia's natural environment and Indigenous peoples during the 19th century. As an artist, Glover is acclaimed for his ability to capture the distinct luminosity of the Australian light and for his sensitive portrayal of the Tasmanian landscape and its original inhabitants.

"A Corroboree in Van Diemen's Land 1840" is held in high esteem both for its artistic merit and for its historical significance. The painting offers insight into the interactions between European settlers and Aboriginal Tasmanians, a subject of ongoing interest and importance in Australian historical discourse. Glover's work is often discussed in the context of colonial art and is considered an important document of the era's cultural encounters.

The painting is part of the collection of the National Gallery of Australia, where it continues to contribute to the understanding of Australia's colonial past and the representation of Aboriginal culture by European artists. Glover's legacy as one of the foremost painters of the Australian colonial period is cemented by works such as "A Corroboree in Van Diemen's Land 1840," which remain central to discussions of Australian art history and colonial narratives.
