Description: | Goodall painted from an early age, winning a silver medal at the Society of Arts in 1837 at the age of just fourteen. His early works are mainly scenes of everyday life or peasant subjects. Later in life his work changed emphasis, consisting mainly of Egyptian and biblical subjects. This watercolour, dating from 1845, is typical of Goodall's style. It shows the marked influence of painters like the Scottish artist Sir David Wilkie (1785-1841). This painter of 'genre' pictures of everyday life was a major influence on many young painters of the period. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1845 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Frederick Goodall | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
