About this work

Daryl Lindsay was the youngest of nine children, all of whom had distinguished careers as writers, designers or artists. Myrniong is a township in the Pentland Hills, west of Melbourne. Lindsay showed several Myrniong subjects, including this work, in his 1931 solo exhibition at the Fine Art Society Gallery, Melbourne. In addition to being a painter, Lindsay is best known for his directorship of the National Gallery of Victoria from 1941 until his retirement in 1956. Under Lindsay, the Gallery introduced a more progressive and liberal collection policy, making important acquisitions of both Old Masters and contemporary art.
