Another feature of Gainsborough’s art is his fondness for painting intelligent hounds. Pomeranian & Puppy (c1777), Isabelle Franks (1775-8) & The Artist’s Wife, Margaret Burr (c1778)
Dupont was the painter’s assistant as well as being his nephew. Like his uncle there is great intelligence behind his eyes. Gainsborough Dupont (1770s), Mrs Graham (c1775) & The Artist’s Daughter, Mary (1777)
“Nothing is pleasanter to me than exploring in a library.”
- Walter Savage Landor, English poet & writer (Imaginary Conversations), who was born #OTD in 1775
Where Wheatley turns away from his group scenes, set against an external landscape, his pictures are less successful. Twelfth Night (1771-2), Mother & Child (c1775), The Wakefield Family (c1774) & John O’Neill, Viscount O’Neill of Shane’s Castle (c1780)
Wheatley’s genius is to place figures in a landscape setting that emphasises their elegance & patrician outlook. The Harvest Wagon (1774), Family Group (c1775), Portrait of a Man (1775) & Jervoise Clarke-Jervoise (c1775)

ジャン・オノレ・フラゴナール《サン・クルーの祭り》c.1775-1780
しみじみ良い絵だなぁ。サン・クルーの噴水は現代もまだ残っていたと思う。行ってみたいなぁ、サン・クルー。ヴァトー時代には、船で遊びに行くサン・クルーはシテール島を連想させたらしいけれど、フラゴ時代はどうなのかしら。
Would a historically accurate short movie of the arrival of Wang Atong to London in 1775 and his reception at the Royal Society (same time as Omai) & portrait by Reynolds be an interesting way to explore Chinese go-betweens in British 18-19th c. making of science? Am I too bold?
