Note: In Gully's painting In the Southern Alps a lone rider makes his way along a ridge into the mountains and an oncoming storm, his tiny form contrasted with the vastness which surrounds him. While such manifestations of the sublime are late echoes of those found in the works of JMW Turner, Gully's watercolours might not have induced feelings of terror before nature in their viewers. Indeed, colonial audiences were just as likely to feel a swelling of patriotic pride when presented with views of the landscapes over which they could now claim possession. (William McAloon, 2009)
