The Turner Gold Medal Landscape of the Royal Academy, by F. Trevelyan Goodall, 1868. Engraving of a painting of '...Goring, looking towards Streatley, Berkshire. The season is autumnal, and in harmony with the rich hues of the waning year is the effect chosen - that of just after sundown on a calm evening when, pausing, as it were, to listen to the general hush, scarce a breath of Zephyrus creeps along the surface of the river, and hardly the faintest streak of cloud disturbs the serenity of the golden sky. The sentiment of the time is as happily expressed as the scene is faithfully depicted. Altogether, the picture is very creditable to the young artist; who, we should add, is a son of Mr. Frederick Goodall, the Royal Academician, thus promising to continue the fame of this artist family in the third generation'. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
