In his final years Gainsborough created some of the most elegant English portraits of the 18th C. His Morning Walk (1785), Mrs Sheridan (1785-6) & Duke of Kent (c1787) are supreme examples of an artist who understood beauty & human frailty

He remained as creative as ever in his final decade & continued his lifelong method of integrating landscape & people. Diana & Actaeon (c1785) & The Mall (1783) are late masterpieces of this time. Gainsborough’s drawings show his care in forming such joyous compositions

As the artist matured his brushwork became more fluid & he used longer brushes which gave his work a sense of movement. His portraits of the Duchess of Beaufort (c1775), Mrs Graham (c1775) & of his nephew & assistant Gainsborough DuPont (c1775) are ravishing masterpieces

Gainsborough’s first love was always landscape painting & he snook it into his portraits where he could. Peasants Returning from Market (1767-8) & the Harvest Wagon (1767). He continued to study & learn from Old Masters such as Rubens’ Descent from the Cross (1760s)

Gainsborough’s greatest portraits from the 1750s are of his family. Miss Gainsborough Gleaning (1756-9), the Painter’s Daughters (1758) & the Artist’s Wife (c1758) attest to his growing maturity as a portraitist, as well as his love for his family

By 1752 the Gainsboroughs were in Ipswich. Portraits & money troubles (driven by his love of the good life) were a theme. He sought to place his portraits in sylvan surrounds. The Gravenor Family (1752-4), John Plampin (1753-5) & the Lloyds (1755)

Welsh Lullaby — on the way to Gainsborough, January 1014
アシェの痛ましい表情も、耳慣れぬことばの子守唄も、傷の痛みと熱でうなされるビョルン君の見た夢かもしれないし、現実かもしれない。

Pictured is a transparent oil on glass by Thomas Gainsborough of a coastal scene w/ sailing and rowing boats in 1783, likely one of his ‘Show Box’ transparencies.

One of Gainsborough’s purposes for his ‘Show Box’ was to see and explore different effects of lighting. https://t.co/W2XJQNwx1G
