Stonehenge, Wiltshire
Albert Goodwin, early 20th century

This watercolour of Stonehenge is full of atmosphere and feeling. It is unusual for Goodwin to produce abstract work as most of his painting is figurative. Albert Goodwin is a key figure in the development in the medium of watercolour forming a bridge between historic figures and groups such as Turner, the Pre-Raphaelites and Ruskin. The work has some parallels with Turners later work, and raises the opportunity for the museum to explore abstraction as a movement within the medium of watercolour.
