Winter Morning (1908) - Frederick McCubbin - Framed picture - 11x14

Frederick McCubbin was an Australian painter and prominent member of the Heidelberg School art movement, also known as Australian Impressionism.

McCubbin studied art at the National Gallery of Victoria's School of Design, where he met Tom Roberts and studied under Eugene von Guerard. He also studied at the Victorian Academy of the Arts and exhibited there in 1876 and again from 1879 to 1882, selling his first painting in 1880.

By the early 1880s, McCubbin's work began to attract considerable attention and won a number of prizes from the National Gallery, including a first prize in 1883 in their annual student exhibition. By the mid-1880s he concentrated more on painting the Australian bush, the works for which he became notable.

He later became an instructor and master of the School of Design at the National Gallery. In this position he taught a number of students who themselves became prominent Australian artists, including Charles Conder and Arthur Streeton.

He became the founding member of the Australian Art Association.
