"Goldau - copy after Turner" is a notable watercolor painting by the British-Australian artist Conrad Martens, created in the early 19th century. Martens, who is best known for his landscapes and his association with the voyage of HMS Beagle alongside Charles Darwin, produced this work as a homage to the renowned British painter J.M.W. Turner. Turner, celebrated for his revolutionary approach to landscape painting and his masterful use of light and color, greatly influenced Martens' artistic development.

The painting depicts the Swiss village of Goldau, which was famously devastated by a landslide in 1806. This catastrophic event, which buried the village and resulted in significant loss of life, became a poignant subject for many artists of the time, including Turner. Martens' rendition captures the dramatic and sublime qualities of the landscape, echoing Turner's own fascination with the power and beauty of nature.

Martens' technique in "Goldau - copy after Turner" demonstrates his adeptness with watercolor, a medium that allows for delicate gradations of color and light. The painting showcases Martens' ability to convey atmospheric effects and his keen attention to detail, characteristics that he admired in Turner's work. By replicating Turner's composition and style, Martens not only paid tribute to the master but also honed his own skills and artistic vision.

This work is significant within Martens' oeuvre as it reflects his early influences and his journey towards developing a distinctive artistic identity. It also serves as an example of the broader 19th-century tradition of artists creating copies or interpretations of their contemporaries' works, a practice that was both a form of study and a means of honoring admired peers. "Goldau - copy after Turner" remains an important piece for understanding the cross-cultural and artistic exchanges of the period, as well as Martens' place within the landscape painting tradition.
