"The River Derwent and Hobart Town Tasmania" is a notable landscape painting by the English-born Australian artist John Glover, created in 1831. The artwork is a significant piece within Glover's oeuvre, as it captures the picturesque scenery of the young colony of Hobart Town, situated along the River Derwent in Tasmania. Glover, often referred to as the 'father of Australian landscape painting,' emigrated to Australia in 1831 and brought with him a European sensibility that he adeptly combined with the unique Australian light and landscape.

Measuring 76.5 x 114.5 cm, the oil on canvas painting is a testament to Glover's skill in depicting the natural beauty of his adopted homeland. The composition showcases the tranquil waters of the River Derwent as it meanders through the landscape, with Hobart Town nestled amidst the rolling hills and lush vegetation. Glover's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the diverse flora, reflects his deep appreciation for the Tasmanian environment.

The painting is not only an artistic achievement but also an important historical record, offering insight into the early days of European settlement in Tasmania. It captures the harmonious coexistence of the natural world with the burgeoning township, highlighting the economic and social development of the area during the early 19th century.

"The River Derwent and Hobart Town Tasmania" is held in high esteem within Australian art history and is considered a masterpiece of colonial art. The work is part of the collection of the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery in Hobart, where it continues to be a source of pride and cultural significance for the people of Tasmania and a valuable piece for scholars studying the period and the artist's legacy.
