Albert Goodwin (artist)

He was championed by famed art critic John Ruskin who took him on a tour of Europe, where he made many sketches from nature which were later turned into watercolours.

During his lifetime he traveled extensively throughout Britain and Europe, and visited many other countries including a trip to Canada in 1890 accompanied by his nephew and fellow artist Sidney Goodwin.

[1] Goodwin was a prolific artist, producing over 800 works and continuing to paint well into his eighties.

His wide variety of landscape subjects reflected his love of travel and show the influence of Turner, with whom he felt a strong affinity.

In later works he developed experimental techniques such as using ink over water color to achieve atmospheric lighting effects.
