Literature
Goldie joined one of the principal Parisian art schools, the Académie Julian, where he studied under eminent salon and academic painter William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825 - 1905) and French orientalist Gabriel-Joseph-Marie-Augustin Ferrier (1847 - 1914). The Académie was a private art school for painting and sculpture. The talented young expatriate took lodgings in the artistic hub of Montparnasse, the heart of the artists’ quarter.
Whilst abroad, young Goldie kept his Auckland benefactors appraised of his progress in Paris. The works he sent for the Auckland Society of Arts 1894 exhibition, were awarded a silver medal. The scene depicted was painted overlooking the Pont Royal and the Louvre Museum on the riverbank of the Seine.
