Life
Goodall began his studies under the direction of his father, Edward Goodall (1795-1870), a well-known engraver, and received a medal from the Society of Arts in 1836 and soon afterwards a prize from the same for his first oil painting: The Corpse of a Miner, found by torchlight .
The Royal Academy included his painting French soldiers drinking in a tavern in the 1839 exhibition .
His travels in France, Wales, Belgium and Ireland provided the material for many popular pictures, such as:
- The gypsy camp
- The soldier's dream
- Hunt the slipper
- The Post Office , Paris 1848,
- The Village Festival (1847, in the National Gallery)
- The ball in favor of the widow
- A happy day for Charles. I. (1855).
A trip to Italy and the Orient undertaken in 1860 broadened the artist's circle of views. The pictures were created:
- Lecture from "Tasso" in Chioggia
- Early morning in the desert
- Return of a pilgrim from Mecca
- Nile flood
- Mater dolorosa
- The Finding of Moses
- Rebekah at the well .
"Of his latest pictures" (Meyers) are the most outstanding:
- Sheep washing at the pyramids of Giza ,
- Water carrier in Egypt (1877)
- Laban's daughters
- Palm Sunday (1878)
- Inside of a mosque in Cairo (1880).
