Albert Goodwin: Visionary Landscapes

Kirkcudbright Galleries are delighted to exhibit an exhibition of watercolour paintings and sketches that illustrate the travels and influences of the landscape artist Albert Goodwin (1845-1932).
Albert Goodwin (1845-1932) was born in Maidstone in Kent. During his lifetime he painted scenes that are both recognisable and of historical interest. As a member of the Royal Watercolour Society, Goodwin exhibited extensively, showing nearly 800 works. He was championed by Ruskin and trained with the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood. His emotive Visionary Landscapes reflect the artistic influences of luminaries from Turner to Ford Madox Brown.

The exhibition is on show during Kirkcudbright Galleries Winter Hours and so is open from Tuesday – Saturday: 10am – 4pm, and Sundays: 11:30 – 4pm. (Last entry for major exhibitions at 3:45pm). The Galleries are currently closed on Mondays.
