Edward Angelo Goodall (1819–1908) was a prominent British landscape and orientalist painter, known for his adventurous spirit and detailed depictions of distant lands. Born into a family of artists, he was the eldest son of Edward Goodall, an engraver of J.M.W. Turner's works. Though he initially trained as a line engraver, he pursued painting in his teens and became a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy from 1841.

Goodall's artistic career was marked by extensive travel. In 1841, he served as the official artist on a British Guiana expedition, documenting the journey in a richly illustrated diary later published. He also acted as a war correspondent during the Crimean War, sending battlefield sketches for The Illustrated London News. His travels took him to various countries, including France, Italy, Spain, Morocco, and Egypt.

In Egypt, Goodall produced some of his most notable works. His paintings combined detailed architectural landscapes with a keen sense of atmosphere, often depicting decaying monuments and historical sites. His interest in capturing both the grandeur and the remnants of ancient civilizations distinguished his work.

Goodall's contribution to Victorian art, especially in his depictions of exotic locales, earned him recognition, and he was made a full member of the Society of Painters in Water Colours in 1864.
