| Description: |
Rupert Charles Wulsten Bunny was born in St. Kilda, Victoria on 29th
September 1864. His parents encouraged a classical taste for music and
the visual arts amongst Melbourne's elite. He joined the National
Gallery of Victoria's School of Design in 1881, attended St. John's
Wood Art School London in 1884 and moved to Paris in 1886, where he
enjoyed the glamorous social life of 'la belle epoque'.
In
Europe, Bunny was Australia's most celebrated artist, attracting
influential patrons including Alfred Felton. In 1895 he married Jeanne
Morel and following her death in 1933, Bunny returned to Melbourne.
Living modestly in dusty, ill-furnished rooms above a newsagency in
Toorak Road, South Yarra, he continued to paint and teach, 'sharing his
capacity for illustration and his delicious facility as a brushman',
until his death on 25th May 1947. |
