Henry Rielly (1845-1905 ) established his reputation in Victoria where he was a founding member of the Victorian Academy of Arts in 1870. He came to Queensland around 1885 and settled in Glen Aplin - both his brothers in law were involved in the tin mining industry. His two sisters (Isabella Rielly Lane and Louisa Aplin) were also artists. It is thought he moved to the region because of his tuberculosis and the region's reputation as 'the sanatorium of Queensland’.
