Albert Goodwin (1845-1932) was born in Maidstone, Kent, and painted landscape scenes that are both recognisable and of interest historically as documents of how towns and buildings once appeared. Many of his watercolours reflect the local landscape of North Devon.
Goodwin had strong links with North Devon and first visited Bideford in 1865, aged 20. This inspired his works, many of which were exhibited at the Royal Academy.
Following his marriage to Alice Desborough of Gidleigh Park in 1874, Goodwin and his family moved to Ilfracombe. The seaside town and surrounding coastal scenes became his home and inspiration for over thirty years of his life.
The museum has been working with freelance curator and writer on Victorian art history, Peter Wise, who has written a booklet to accompany the display of the touring exhibition from Maidstone Museum and Bentlif Art Gallery. The booklet is available to purchase at the museum.
