"Goodrich Castle on the Wye" by Thomas Hearne is a notable artwork by the English landscape painter and illustrator, Thomas Hearne (1744–1817). Renowned for his picturesque and topographical watercolors, Hearne's depiction of Goodrich Castle captures the romantic ruin of the medieval fortress situated in Herefordshire, England, overlooking the River Wye. Created in the 18th century, this piece reflects the era's growing interest in the British landscape and its historical sites, which were often romanticized in art and literature.

Hearne's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and its delicate use of watercolor, which was a relatively new medium at the time. "Goodrich Castle on the Wye" exemplifies Hearne's skill in rendering architectural accuracy while also conveying the atmospheric qualities of the scene. The artwork serves not only as a visual record of the castle's condition during Hearne's lifetime but also as an embodiment of the picturesque aesthetic that influenced British art and the appreciation of landscape during the period.

The castle itself, a subject of Hearne's painting, has a rich history dating back to the Norman period, with the surviving ruins primarily from the 12th to the 13th centuries. By the time Hearne painted the castle, it had been largely abandoned and was being overtaken by nature, a state that lent itself well to the romantic sensibilities of the time. "Goodrich Castle on the Wye" is significant for its historical value, artistic merit, and its role in the broader context of the picturesque movement in British art. The painting is a testament to Hearne's influence on the watercolor genre and his contribution to the documentation and celebration of Britain's natural and historical landscapes.
