The Mosque of the Citadel, Cairo - Albert Goodwin

Albert Goodwin (1845–1932) was an English landscape painter, usually in watercolour. His work shows the influence of J. M. W. Turner. Goodwin was born in Maidstone in Kent, the son of a builder and one of 9 children. After leaving school he became an apprentice draper. His exceptional artistic ability was recognised at an early age and he went on to study with the Pre-Raphaelite artists Arthur Hughes and Ford Madox Brown - the latter predicting that he would become "one of the greatest landscape painters of the age".
