Archibald Prize 2012 The Histrionic Wayfarer (after Bosch) Tim Storrier AM (born 13 February 1949, Sydney) is an Australian artist who won the 2017 Doug Moran National Portrait Prize with The Lunar Savant, a portrait of fellow artist McLean Edwards.

Storrier noted in the accompanying Art Gallery of New South Wales (AGNSW) text[2] "It refers to a painting by Hieronymus Bosch called The Wayfarer painted in c. 1510 where the figure is believed to be choosing a path or possibly the prodigal son returning ...

It also has other references, I believe, but they are rather clouded in biblical history and time ... A carapace of burden is depicted in [...] The histrionic wayfarer, clothed in the tools to sustain the intrigue of a metaphysical survey.

Provisions, art materials, books, papers, bedding, compass and maps, all for the journey through the landscape of the artist's mind, accompanied by Smudge [the dog], the critic and guide of the whole enterprise", said Storrier.

The AGNSW text notes, "Though there is no face to identify him, Storrier believes that identity is made clear by the clothes and equipment carried.
