Sir Hans Heysen
Born in Hamburg in 1877 he came to Adelaide in 1883 and left school aged only 14 to work in a hardware dealer.
He studied at the Adelaide School of Design of a night and painted at weekends. His natural talent developed and was eventually recognised by a business syndicate who sent him overseas to Britain, France and Italy to expand his abilties.
After a successful exhibition in Melbourne he raised enough money to settle in Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills and earned a good living as an artist.
His paintings are now among the most prized of Australian art. His home in Hahndorf is open to the public.
