Artist biography: William Nicholls Anderson (1872-1927) was a noteworthy painter whose landscapes belong to the tradition of Australian Impressionism. He studied at Melbourne’s National Gallery School from 1894 to 1896 under Frederick McCubbin, Anderson became particularly known for landscapes and coastal subjects, his work showing the influence of the Heidelberg School; examples are held in Australian public collections including the Australian War Memorial and Kew Historical Society. His standing has received renewed attention following the 2025 sale of his monumental 1913 painting The Federal Capital Site, Canberra for A$100,000 hammer (A$122,727 including buyer’s premium), subsequently acquired by Canberra Museum and Gallery.
