The English born painter Walter Withers is known for his moody landscapes of the Victorian landscape around Heidelberg, Eaglemont and Creswick. In the brotherhood of the Heidelberg school of painters he was called 'The Colonel' for his ability to organise others. His old farmstead at Charterisville became the home for a generation of painters in 1890 and he also taught and mentored many of his younger colleagues.
