Albert Goodwin, RWS,
British 1845-1932-
A View of Cairo;
pencil and watercolour heightened with white on paper, signed and dated 'A. Goodwin 76' (lower left), bears label on reverse for the Mathaf Gallery, 31.4 x 49.2 cm.
Provenance:
with Mathaf Gallery, London [ME190].
Property of a Nobleman.
Note:
Goodwin was a prominent landscape painter who worked principally in watercolours. He was influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite approach of Ford Madox Brown (1821-1893) and Arthur Hughes (1832-1915), under whom he studied. As well as producing a number of watercolours during his extensive travels, he was heavily inspired by the British landscape and returned to the subject repeatedly. Goodwin's paintings reveal the undeniable influence of J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851), particularly in the artist's confident use of colour and light to produce works which are strikingly atmospheric.
