Original Description
Albert Goodwin’s Etna and Taormina is a breathtaking 19th-century watercolour that masterfully captures the sublime beauty of Sicily’s landscape. Goodwin, a British painter influenced by J.M.W. Turner, blends Romanticism’s dramatic sensibility with the delicate precision of the Pre-Raphaelites. The painting depicts Mount Etna smouldering in the distance, its volcanic hues contrasting with the sunlit cliffs of Taormina and the shimmering Ionian Sea. Goodwin’s layered washes of colour create a luminous, almost ethereal quality, while his meticulous detailing of the ancient Greco-Roman theatre in the foreground anchors the scene in history. This work exemplifies his skill in merging topographical accuracy with poetic atmosphere, securing his legacy as a bridge between Victorian romanticism and early modern landscape art. Though less famous than his mentor Turner, Goodwin’s works are prized for their evocative power and technical finesse, with Etna and Taormina standing as a testament to his unique vision.
For interior spaces, Etna and Taormina would elevate a study, lounge, or office with its timeless elegance. Opt for a classic frame in gold or walnut to complement Goodwin’s warm palette, and hang it against neutral or deep-toned walls (e.g., taupe or navy) to amplify its glow. The painting’s ideal size depends on the wall—a medium-large format (e.g., 80x60cm) suits a focal point above a sofa or desk, while a smaller print could enhance a gallery wall among botanical sketches or antique maps. Pair it with rich textiles like velvet cushions or a Persian rug to echo its earthy reds and blues, or contrast its romanticism with sleek mid-century furniture for a balanced aesthetic. In dimly lit areas, accent lighting (a picture light or spotlights) will heighten the watercolour’s luminosity, making it a mesmerising centrepiece.
