Walter Goodman (11 May 1838 – 20 August 1912) was an English painter, illustrator and author. The son of English portrait painter Julia Salaman (1812–1906) and London linen draper and town councillor, Louis Goodman (1811–1876), he studied with J. M. Leigh and at the Royal Academy in London, where he was admitted as a student in 1851. Recent research has unearthed details of more than one hundred works by Goodman. Unfortunately the present whereabouts of most these are unknown, notable exceptions being ''The Printseller's Window'' (c.1882), acquired by the Memorial Art Gallery of the University of Rochester in 1998, portraits of actresses ''Mary Anne Keeley'' (also known as ''Mrs. Keeley At Fourscore'') and ''Fanny Stirling'' (1885), both in the collection of London's Garrick Club, ''A Kitchen Cabinet'' (1882) in a private collection in USA, and a Cuban scene, ''Home of the Bamboo'', in a private collection in Sweden. Several sketches, paintings and water colours, are still in the possession of Walter Goodman's descendants. ==Early work== One of Goodman's earliest recorded works is his depiction of the 1858 trial of Dr Simon Bernard over the attempted assassination of Napoleon III. The painting hung in the Tavistock Square home of Goodman's uncle, Sir John Simon (1818–1897), who worked on the trial 〔Jewish Chronicle 2 July 1897. p. 21〕 as Edwin James' junior.〔''R v. Bernard'' () 8 St. Tr. N.S. 887, (1858) 1 F&F 240〕 The same year The Liverpool Academy exhibited ''Doctoring The Cane'',〔The Liverpool Academy and Other Exhibitions of Contemporary Art in Liverpool 1774–1867. Edward Morris & Emma Roberts. Liverpool University Press and National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside (1998). p. 262.〕 which was then exhibited the following year by The British Institution on Pall Mall in London.〔Wood, Christopher. Victorian painters. 3rd ed. Woodbridge: Antique Collectors' Club, 1995. Pressmark: Ref 759.2 WOO〕 ''Doctoring the Cane'' was exhibited and sold as an Art Union prize at the annual exhibition in Manchester,〔The Biograph and Review Volume IV 1880, E.W.Allen〕 probably in 1859. The British Institution also exhibited ''Bible Stories'' in 1861.〔 In 1861 Goodman's painting of the ''Interior of The Cathedral of San Lorenzo, Genoa'' was exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy.〔Baile de Laperrière, Charles, ed. The Royal Scottish Academy exhibitors 1826–1990. Calne: Hilmarton Manor, 1991. Pressmark: Ref 709.2GB〕 In 1862 The Liverpool Society of Fine Arts exhibited ''Il Monte della Croce, San Miniato, Florence'' and ''Interior of The Cathedral of San Lorenzo, Genoa'').〔 A publication of 1859 refers to Goodman as a ''scene painter'' and goes on to describe Goodman's (and various siblings') appearance in an amateur play staged at the Baker Street, London home of another uncle, the composer Charles Kensington Salaman (1814–1901). The production received glowing reviews.〔Jewish Chronicle 13 May 1859. p. 8〕 A somewhat comical flyer from the same year, of a production at the Goodman family home at Mabledon Place in London, describes Goodman as a ''hammerteur artist'' (alluding to the fact that he also constructed the scenery). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Walter Goodman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
