Many artists have given their interpretations of the Australian bush ranger, Ned Kelly. Sidney Nolan’s 1946–47 Ned Kelly series is one of the greatest sequences of Australian paintings of the twentieth century and he remains one of my favourite Australian artists.
My interpretation is loosely based on the infamous incident at Stringybark Creek where the Kelly Gang ambushed four Victorian Police Officers in 1878. I have contrasted Ned, in his hand made armour, hiding amongst the colourful saplings with gun in hand.
