George Bouverie Goddard was born in the winter of 1832 in Salisbury, England, and experienced contradictory reactions to his art at an early age. Already at the tender age of 10 years his pictures are very popular with art lovers. Nevertheless, his talent is not supported by an appropriate education, because his immediate surroundings do not share his enthusiasm for an artistic career.
Despite this headwind, young George courageously decides at the age of 17 to leave his parents' village and move to London, over 120 km away, to make his own way. He draws inspiration for his animal illustrations from regular visits to the zoo. Goddard also makes a name for himself as an illustrator for various British newspapers. In 1856, the 24-year-old self-taught artist exhibited his pictures for the first time at the Royal Academy of Arts. In the meantime, he returned to his home town of Salisbury, where, unlike in the past, he now even attracted the local nobility for his art. But at the age of 25 he finally turns his back on his former home and returns to London. With Charles Keene
Goddard, his colleague at the British newspaper "Punch", shared a studio in the famous Baker Street for a while.
Goddard made his breakthrough at the age of 34. His works are now regularly exhibited. During this time he created illustrations such as "The Haunting of the Roof, a Summer Night in the Forest", or "The Fox Family at Home", which reflect his love of hunting. In 1875, he created his painting of more than four metres in length, entitled "Lord Wolverton's Bloodhounds". Like so many moments in his life, the death of George Bouverie Goddard occurs prematurely. In 1886, on a trip to his father who was dying, the artist contracted an illness at the age of 53 from which he never recovered. He dies a few days after his father.
