Australians love their bushrangers, from the comfortable distance of history, that is.
The long greenish photograph on this residential building in Russell Street, Melbourne, is a contemporary parody - or is it tribute even - of/to the famous painting 'Bushrangers on the St Kilda Road' (at present-day Elwood) by William Strutt, painted in 1887 from sketches he made while in Australia, in 1852.
You'll find Strutt's far more dynamic 'Bushrangers of 1852' in the art collection at the University of Melbourne, the Ian Potter Museum of Art.
A fairly thorough exhibition of Strutt's sketches and paintings was assembled by the State Library of Victoria several months ago.
