Richard LaBarre Goodwin

Richard LaBarre Goodwin was an American artist born in 1840 and passed away in 1910. He is best known for his contributions to the trompe-l'œil movement, a genre that seeks to deceive the viewer's eye with highly realistic imagery. Goodwin's work often featured still lifes, particularly hunting and game subjects, which were popular in the late 19th century. His paintings are noted for their meticulous attention to detail and ability to create an illusion of three-dimensionality. Throughout his career, Goodwin exhibited widely, gaining recognition for his technical skill and the lifelike quality of his compositions. His work remains a testament to the trompe-l'œil tradition and its place in American art history.
