Turner and the Pre-Raphaelites, Albert Goodwin exhibited at the Royal Academy from the age of fifteen. He studied with Arthur Hughes and Ford Madox Brown, learning the Pre-Raphaelite principles of observation and beauty in nature, and their romanticism and poetic intensity are visible in his work throughout his career. By the early 1870s he had come under the eye of John Ruskin, and in 1872 he accompanied Ruskin to Italy, the beginning of his extensive travels. He made trips to Egypt and Italy, but perhaps most unusual were his two trips to the West Indies in 1902 and 1912. Goodwin first travelled to the Caribbean on board the W.I.M.S. Trent at the end of January 1902, in the company of his daughter, Edytha, and Arthur J. McConnell, arriving at Barbados on 2nd February. None of the present group of watercolours are dated, and it is not entirely clear which of the two trips they date from, but they all share a vibrancy and richness of colour which evokes the tropical atmosphere.
